I'm not sure what you intend on accomplishing by noting that doctor's salaries here are still more expensive than one of the most generally expensive western countries in the world.

Conspiracy theories about 'big pharma' on something from CEPR helps no one.



No, no, no, you don't understand. Although our doctor's salaries are much higher than other countries, it's okay because our drug costs, medical supply costs, ambulance costs, hospital administration costs, and insurance company overhead costs are also much higher. Therefore, doctor's salaries just a small percentage of health care costs in the United States.

It's basic math, really.
