Somehow, US healthcare is ~ 2-3x expensive as equivalents in other wealthy countries, which get better outcomes. Who is collecting this extra money? It's not the medical professionals, you say (and I believe).
It's partially medical professionals! My partner is better paid than she would be in, say, Canada. US medical worker pay absolutely contributes to our costs - I just meant to point out it's not the only factor and that those jobs, though well paid, can be taxing for the people in them on a day-by-day basis.
