We have the best doctors in the world here in the states and they deserve every penny they can bill for. We want the best paid dr's right here in the states, not the worst paid. medical innovation happens right here in the Unites States because of that. These guys go through 4 years of med school, a year of slavery known as their medical internship, 3 more years of residency, then they are able to take the boards. Up to two more years if they chose to specialize and take a fellowship. So we are talking about 10 years post college before they are able to even earn money practicing their chosen profession. These guys are 30 years old with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt before they can begin their career. By the way if they are a general practitioner, or a hospitalist they are lucky to make 120-150k a year. The problem with healthcare in America has nothing to do with overpaid and incompetent Dr.s. I'm very sorry about your mother. I know how hard cancer can be on an individual and a family, but you are way off base here.
it seems to me having the very best doctors that no one can afford to go to is a bit off base too.
