Do tell. AMA is one of the most powerful lobbies in Washington, and this isn't even counting Pharma.
Money has to come from somewhere and payroll is ALWAYS the biggest expense.
Part of the reason medical care is so expensive is that the barrier to enter into the field is so high. 8 + years in school AND residency? Doctors are untouchable though.
To be fair, none of us would want an undereducated Doctor performing an operation on us.
