You aren’t paying for the 15 mins. You are paying for the 20 years that got them qualified and the couple of times per year when shit gets wild and they do more than read the news.

Over paid? Yes. Worth their pay and 10x more when it goes bad. Yes.

So is Germany. But they pay less. And their outcomes aren't worse. So we're overpaying. Probably more precisely: we're unnecessarily restricting the supply of physicians, which is the same thing.
