Just a random factoid I’ll throw out there… if we guesstimate from Gus’s link that the average physician salary is about $350k/yr, and there are something like 660,000 doctors in the US, and total health care spending is on the order of $2.5 trillion, then about 9% of our total health care spending is going to physician salaries (probably more like 15% if you include benefits and such).
