I don't think universal healthcare limits the salaries of doctors. I also think you'll find most in the US are hardly rich either. Most have pretty crippling student loans. The US is kind weird in regards to salaries and is a bit all over the place really.
Ah true I forgot about student loans.
And yes universal health care does not limit the doctors’ salaries and in fact many have their own private business (on top of working in the public healthcare in the mornings or because they work for a non-public hospital etc) but when there’s “free” health care available I guess they can’t charge exorbitant fees or they will have no customers/patients.
Anyway my view of doctors and lawyers in the US being rich might be wrong (I’d blame at least partially movies in that case).
