"Physician and Clinical Services" receive 20% of the total spending on healthcare. (https://www.cms.gov/files/document/highlights.pdf and the CDC info I posted elsewhere).

It’s important to note that that is physician and clinical services. That’s very different from doctor’s salaries are 20% of healthcare spending.

Edit: I noticed that you already mentioned this in your other thread.

Also in the US physicians salaries are also directly paying for physician training thanks to large student loans unlike in many other countries.
