Gross and ignorant post. It’s the insurance and it hospitals. Doctors, nurses, staff, etc get paid either way.
Doctors get paid enough to have muiltiple luxury cars and giant McMansions, and take straight up bribes from pharmaceutical companies to push high-profit medications on patients even when they'd be as well served by a far cheaper alternative. Meanwhile, the rest of the staff works 70+ hours for near-poverty wages.
Doctors are in on the scam as much as anyone, the inhumane hours are just part of the membership fee.
