Don't forget malpractice insurance. As high as $200k/yr for high risk doctors like obstetricians. That significantly reduces your take home pay.

  When I read this 25 years ago (insane malpractice insurance for obstetricians) my thought was a good national health insurance program would probably fix that. If the US took better care of families with sick/special needs children they wouldn't have to go after the doctors when stuff goes wrong.

    I think it's a more complex issue than either medicine, insurance, or the legal system can address alone.

      The US which relies on free markets, insurance, and the legal system has worse outcomes than countries that do not.
