I just did another Google search and I'm not finding the same websites I found a few years ago. One of them was really good too, very official and it offered a lot of detail.
Here's two I did find: The first is the WHO rankings WHO This is simply a ranking, no details. It's interesting to note that Canada, Australia and the US are basically grouped together in the 30's. I know the devil is in the details and who knows what went into these rankings. The second one seems to be a fairly authoritative article just last month from the Dallas Morning News NursingLink.com This is a long detailed article but check out this quote from page 3:

The French government negotiates price ceilings with pharmaceutical companies. French doctors earn about 60 percent of what their American counterparts make, although they get free medical school tuition and don’t face high malpractice insurance premiums.

This is exactly on point with my comments from a few days ago. Make less but free med school? Total schooling for a doctor costs something like a quarter million bucks here and malpractice insurance is around a hundred grand a year and both are huge contributors to the high costs. Doctors may "make" much more in the US but are paying out a lot more too. Yet a government mandate to control these things completely flies in the face of our free market thinking and our rights to take someone to court. How much is enough if a hospital cuts off the wrong leg for example? Certainly you would be entitled to something, in Canada I think it's about 300K or so but here it's millions. There has to be a balance somewhere but how to achieve it is the big question.
