This is also a side effect of how much medical education costs in the US, though. Education is so expensive that medical professionals have to have eye-watering salaries to have any hope of paying it off.

Of course, this is partially the fault of the AMA restricting medical school slots, but also is part of the general trend of tertiary education in the US being ridiculously expensive.
