The more interesting question to ask is why do doctors essentially everywhere else in the world not apparently deserve it?

Do the UK and France simply hate their doctors more? Are they not as good? Presumably not, and so what are the economic factors that led to this state of affairs?

The UK and French medical fields are very different financial entities than in the US.
