[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doctors in the US average about the same $ as a senior software engineer, but with much more expensive education, expensive malpractice insurance, grueling hours, and austere work environments. Why would we want to lower their salaries so that they make what a UK doctor makes, without UK hours and benefits? No. People will just go into other fields. [/quote] That ship has sailed. Health insurance companies set the cost of doctor visits and/or employ the majority of doctors on salaries. Just look at what part of healthcare industry has the most MBA’s. MBA’s are all about cost containment and redirecting money to CEOs and sometime the shareholders. Health insurance companies have boats of MBAs working for them. People will still go in to medicine but it is not an industry with rich doctors any more. [/quote]
