Doctors in the US are unionized, for the economical sense of the word, and it is one of the reasons of high cost of health care and under-supply. Software and the internet, thankfully, is generally libertarian because thats how the internet generally behaves. Otherwise, the U.S. would bar foreigners from practicing software engineering, and limit the amount of people that can have a software license. |

No they are not, for any sense of the word.

No, they are not. Aside from the fact that doctors collectively have about zero control over the total supply, physician earnings account for about 7% of healthcare expenditures. That's a drop in the bucket, even if you reduced that to zero.

This much is completely true, and you can look to the incredibly long and xenophobic history of labor unions for evidence of that.
