For one, the payment setup in the US is a massive burden to proper care. For every screen and procedure that gets logged into an EMR system, there is some resulting billing setup that is complex, overburdensome and user hostile. The billing setup is so bad in the US that there are whole armies of companies who's job is literally to just collect revenue for unpaid bills (RCM - Revenue Cycle Management), many of which are the result of a confusing billing and invoicing system.
