Most other wealthy countries subsidize the cost of medical education to some extent. This article didn't touch on the possibility that the extra $100 billion the US spends on doctor salaries is just being spent on education subsidies in other countries. Many professions in the US are paid more than their counterparts elsewhere. Software development is a good example, where the salaries I see in the US are often twice as high as what I see in Europe. But Americans have basically no rights as employees, very little time off, no access to universal healthcare, no access to high quality public transportation, etc.
