Doctors are paid higher fees in the United States than in several other countries

Maybe because they work in nice offices as opposed to banana shacks or alleys?

says a new study by two Columbia University professors, one of whom is now a top health official in the Obama administration.

Oh, ok then.

No bias or agenda here. Let's just move along, folks.

Maybe you should have read the rest of the article — Last I knew none of these countries had banana shacks or alley health care - although we do have some of that here, specially if you are poor..

On average, primary care physicians in the United States received $186,582 in pretax income a year, compared with $95,585 in France and $92,844 in Australia. When it came to orthopedic surgeons, there was a similar disparity, with US surgeons taking in an average of $442,450 a year, compared with $154,380 in France, $208,634 in Canada and $324,138 in the UK.
