Just stating the facts. Running large organizations can be complicated business and some people can do while others cannot. As a result, demand for these people outstrips supply. Doctors deserve high pay because they are highly trained and make sacrifices that few people are willing to make to become doctors. While there aren't enough of them, their pay is limited by government tinkering with the marketplace. Doctors would make a lot more money were government not in control of their paychecks. As they should. Which is the reason it is a problem. Anyone wanting to become a doctor today is probably making a bad career choice if they are interested in being a top earner. I know a girl who recently was hired as a part-time (1/2 week) radiologist for 175K. To a lot of people that sounds like a lot of money, but she sacrificed an entire decade and spent a lot of money to get there. And that earning potential will be affected terribly by the regulatory environment going forward.
