  However much they can get someone to pay them! So long as they're aren't also using their cartel power to reduce the availability of medical care. Which they are.

    How would they get anyone to pay anything if their services are being offered by the government as a basic human right? They lose all bargaining power if they can't refuse their services.

      If the government offers too little money, the supply drops and you get quotas, waiting lists, and denied treatments.

  Unlike many other highly-paid individuals, modern doctors are not innovating anything. They are essentially body plumbers. They are not doing anything unique enough to justify quarter-million-dollar salaries.
