>Do you think they will spend more time with patients or take in more patients?

Well, taking in more patients per doctor is what will decrease the cost for the patient (so would increasing the number of doctors). Often, I'd rather be shuffled in and out in half the time, and be charged less, than charged the same and be given more time to talk with the doctor.

People working in specialized fields (doctors, programming, etc.) don’t get paid by the hour, they get paid for their expertise, so less time spent doesn’t mean a lower price.
