Doctors are by far the highest paid professional occupation in America. The AMA is the most powerful trade union in history and restricts the number of new doctors, pushing up prices.
- simianwords 11mo agoI have changed my mind on this after looking at the data. Not much cost can be attributed to the doctors.
