Socialized Health Care in the USA

I tried to find something about the average salaries of physicians in the world. I couldn't find a nice list (just some numbers), but have the idea doctors salaries in the US are much higher than over here in Europe for example.

More than 200K dollar for a starter on anesthesiology is a lot of money (it seems that I chose the wrong profession and education). Anyway, these people are worth a good salary but it might explain higher medical costs.

Anesthesiologists have the highest malpractice claims against them. Every time they put someone under, they take the risk that they will not come out of it.
