On: Why doctors in America earn so much

[matheusmoreira]

On the other hand, you want doctors to be well rewarded because it's a high stress, high work hours, high responsibility, high liability, high effort and high opportunity cost profession. If it doesn't pay well, very few people are going to bust ass in medical school and residency for 10 years to do it.

In my country the government flooded the market with doctors and the results weren't pretty to say the least.

I would prefer to see a reasonable paid, not stressed and not overbooked and not over worked doctor.

Most doctors I know would rather be overworked than underpaid.
