You could make the same case for those on Wall Street. I think it’s a separate debate whether all that is fair. I think what’s different in medicine is
1. Medical care is not optional when you need it.
2. There aren’t readily available options to choose between.
3. You don’t know how much you’ll be paying when you need it.
4. Band-aids and tongue suppressors costing $30. stuff like that which is unquestionably egregious.
All of what you are saying is true. However none of that is dictated by doctors or a direct result of doctors' salaries being too high like OP suggested.
