Plus, you know the whole 4 years of graduate work, 3 tiers of USMLE testing, 3 years of residency at what works out to be less than what you can make at Starbucks, a few more as a fellow before you can even start practicing. Even at the top end (cardiologists, anesthesiologists, neurologists), you're going to pretty much salary cap at around $750k pre-tax. There is a lot of waste in medicine, but the salary of doctors is pretty fairly priced.

Imagine if cardiologists all of a sudden went 'value-based free market' in their pricing. With all the retiring boomers in their waning years, I could very easily see 6 hours of labor for a staff of ~6-8 in the OR performing a bypass being billed at $100k.
