Yep. Just look at health care and related salaries in other countries. There are many fewer people in pharmaceutical sales in the EU or in Asia. Likewise, while being a doctor is a comfortable career in EU countries, no doctor earns $400k+ per year, like some surgeons/specialists in the US do. The problems aren't unique to any specific role in the US system, they are ubiquitous.
I am generally opposed to any major health care reform that the AMA, the AHA, PhRMA, or AHIP is in favor of.
- osullivj 7y agoThere are plenty of consultant surgeons and specialists practicing on Harley St in London who make way more than USD400K/annum.
- secabeen 7y agoInteresting. And they are making that money via just NHS, or is there additional private insurance involved? (I'm in the US, so I'm learning here)
- osullivj 7y agoThey work in both systems, but make the big money in private practice, which is often paid by insurers, but sometimes as cash. For instance Google Cyrus Abbasian; he works in both systems and I recently paid cash for a consultation with my son.
