I'm happy for anyone to come along and say 'I'm a doctor and I'll gladly give up my million dollar home, my Audi, my wife's BMW and drinking habit, and private school for my 2 children' or 'I'm a consumer and security of our environment is my number one priority, please put my bills up by 7 times to ensure Microsoft can harvest all my information', but as that's not going to happen in a capitalist society, so you're going to have to buckle up and have this keep happening
Eh, doctors only live lavishly because no one wants their doc to be the one the from the poor side of town, driving a half dead Pinto and reeks of BO. Kinda like how you never see a construction foreman driving a sporty coupe to their work sites; people typically live to the expectations of their clients so that they continue to have clients.
But really, the major problem from my experience is that nobody wants to risk breaking medical equipment. Once everything is working, the rule is to not touch it, putting an X-ray or MRI machine out of business for even a day not only costs serious amounts of money but it also puts patients at risk and further backlogs an already over used resource.
