If you want to quote stats, for goodness sake don't mislead by omission. Cherry picking the lowest salaries hardly is honest. If you wish a clearer picture, look at the absolute doctors' earnings with some perspective.http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/15/how-much-do-doctors-in-other-countries-make/?_r=0

Your argument that physicians' wishes for higher salaries should drive the argument is turning the telescope around: we aren't a medical dictatorship, are we?
If American doctors will not work for more reasonable recompense, there is a world of doctors out there that would love to work here.

Again, is it about allowing the pigs to slop up as much as they wish, leaving nothing for anyone else, or is it about instituting some rules that protect the majority?
