[QUOTE=Art 1;9650338]Weather it’s right or wrong you can’t blame someone in the US who has to declare bankruptcy due to medical costs or has their house leaned to be upset seeing the doctors parking lot full of Porsche’s and Ferrari’s.[/]

As a physician I will agree that healthcare in this country is broken, but I wish I could tell you that the MDs are getting as much as you think. When looking at those crazy hospital bills of 100k plus for staying, the physician component is minuscule in that overall bill. The overwhelming majority goes to medications.
Medicine costs in the US are absurd.
And it gets worse every year. Medicare reimbursement for a procedure that I commonly perform went down by 20% this year alone.
Sorry to hijack thread.
