Doctors – Managed Care and Health Insurance – Medicine and Health – Wages and Salaries – New York Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Argues that physician income is a major problem in the US health system crisis, as here:<\/em><\/p>\n

“Doctors in the United States earn two to three times as much as they do in other industrialized countries. Surveys by medical-practice management groups show that American doctors make an average of $200,000 to $300,000 a year. Primary care doctors and pediatricians make less, between $125,000 and $200,000, but in specialties like radiology, physicians can take home $400,000 or more.
In Europe, however, doctors made $60,000 to $120,000 in 2002, according to a survey sponsored by the British government in 2004.”<\/p>\n

Interestingly, <\/em>according to Canadian<\/span> Statistics<\/span><\/em><\/a>, we’re not so different.<\/em>
Click on the link, and the tables reporting what physicians in Canada receive from Canadian Medicare start on page 28. And no, I’m sorry I don’t have the data on their overhead, actual take home or hours. If YOU do, send me the link, please!<\/em>
<\/em>
BTW, I will not argue that there is an unconscionable discrepancy in income among the procedure-based specialties and other physicians in the US.<\/em>
