My wife is a nurse who basically runs a specialty clinic for an internationally renowned doc. They only see patients 2 days a week and are booked 6-9 months in advance. People usually see him as a last resort and only via referral from their docs. They have so many openings for new patients, so many for followups and are usually overbook due to the people who don't show up. People make appts, don't show up because they "overslept", "roads were bad", etc. then want to come in the next day. Most times this can't happen and then they get mad.
Those follow-ups are scheduled in and sometimes cause the overbooking that makes you wait in the reception area.
Having a spouse in the medical field is an eye-opener. Like most things, there are great doctors and then there are poor doctors.
I agree that a major cause of the cost of health care is ridiculous lawsuits for every undesirable outcome in the system. If financial lawsuits were outlawed cost would definitely drop. Also eliminate lawsuits against drug companies for drugs that are FDA approved. Doctors order a lot more tests to cover themselves in case of a lawsuit.
People don't realize that doctors are human, not infallible and mistakes happen.
And as others have said, if you limit pay, who will want to spend 8 years (after 4 years of college) and about $200,000 to become a doctor if you'll be limited in salary and have huge responsibility (life and death) that someone else gets without all the education and risk?

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
