No, they are not. Aside from the fact that doctors collectively have about zero control over the total supply, physician earnings account for about 7% of healthcare expenditures. That's a drop in the bucket, even if you reduced that to zero.

This much is completely true, and you can look to the incredibly long and xenophobic history of labor unions for evidence of that.
