Bingo on the 50K per year.  Same for dentists who gouge people on basic oral hygene.
My doctor is on salary, does what I see as a reasonable job, does not overmedicate as she is not on any bonus plan put out by big Pharma.  I believe this is a way to go. Salary, albeit a decent one, with no incentive to overprescribe and non of the scenanegans that businesses use to scam the taxman. Believe me as I know plenty of friends at the clubs I belong to who split income with family members who so call sit on the board....LOL....maybe the Quiji board!!!!   Bring in salaries, and for gods sake hire more specialists. THere are too many Mclarens parked in the cardiologists allocated area.  Not sustaibable in a public health care system.  Just to do.  ITs not rocket science.  The docs came to this profession to help people, not to get rich on the backs of the tax payers....or am I missing something.
