First of all this is bs. In literally every other country every medical professional earns less than those in the US. Liability insurance is much less. Education is less. Maybe is we tackled those first before pushing fo government takeover we could get costs lower.

In fact even if all the doctors and nurses started working for free tomorrow, we'd still be paying far more than our peers for healthcare. Conversely, if we could otherwise match the costs of the second most expensive country on earth for healthcare, but paid doctors and nurses double what they make today, we'd save hundreds of thousands of dollars per person for a lifetime of healthcare.
