$200 = ($50 space per night to put self + 20 cleaning + 0.2 mint + 1.80 water + 3 air conditioning + other low-tech things)(1+percentage profit)
$20,000 = ($2,000 for 50 years of training for 5 docs + $3,000(1 + percentage unnecessary to prevent lawsuit) state of art chemicals & tests + 2,000 admin + whatev other stuff)(1+ percentage profit)
if the hotel industry was run like the hospital industry it would still cost $200-400 or so for an ok room. The price size is the big attention grabber in the video. preventing potentially imminent death, and legal responsibility for it, is EXPENSIVE.
also, in a hotel you decide whether to eat chocolate. in a hospital, you might be unconscious or have no clue wtf 'vancomycin' is. so doctors decide. video misses this consumption-decision aspect.
wishing for a free, transparent market in medicine is naive, at least now. healthcare can't be 'disrupted' as easily as javascript library trends. but we might at least wish for a standardized 'economy' emergency set of options that uses off-patent stuff and restricts procedures. ER docs would hate binding rules but it does make a difference in unexpected ER cost, even choosing cheap vs expensive antibiotics.
if you plan 3 months ahead to pay 10k for plastics penis enlargement, that's a somewhat different issue.
