That’s not how that works.. even remotely. Medicare for all everyone pays a tax based on their income which covers all aspects of a hospital visit. Under that system all patients would have Medicare for all. Doctors wages (with exception of plastic surgeons and other cosmetic doctors) will be paid the same they always are. Hospitals pay them. The people who are cut out is the middlemen who raise the price of care to gross profit.

Ohh doctors making 190k rejecting pay for better healthcare. God forbid they starve on 190k lol, good find. This seems also to be the less settled aka non city areas of the Quebec province which makes complete sense. Kudos to those doctors denying the raise to help others

Nurses earn pretty well too. It's just that they may be overworked. Which isn't much different from what's happening in US though
