The U.S. healthcare system stands as a paradox: it is both a beacon of innovation and a symbol of inefficiency. Unlike most other industries, healthcare is driven by an inelastic demand for services—a demand fueled by the fear of mortality and a deep trust in medical professionals.

By dissecting these elements, we aim to lay the groundwork for understanding the broader complexities of healthcare economics and compliance.
