It's actually 42% in my province: http://wpmedia.news.nationalpost.com/2015/04/programexpensebreakdown1.jpg?w=620&h=425 http://wpmedia.news.nationalpost.com/2015/04/programexpenseb...
The average doctor makes $350k and the medical association is suing the government because they think it's too little (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/ontario-medical-association-suing-province-over-cuts-to-doctors-fees/article27030534/ http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/ontario-medical...).
- addicted 11y agoThat 42% is the Healthcare Sector's share in the entire provincial budget. It absolutely does not support your claim that doctors take in 50% (or even 42%) as it has already been pointed out that there are far more expenses in healthcare than simply doctors (e.g. drugs).
