You are wrong, salary will be LESS than 170k. It’s going to suck for doctors even MORE than you think.
Here is a real life example of what happens under a welfare state and it’s not even single payer system:
Germany. Multipayer system with compulsory insurance and private insurance. 74% of healthcare spending is government funded, 26% private.
Now look at how their hospitals will pay you:
Welche TV Ärzte gibt es? Gehälter aller Arzt Tarifverträge im Überblick. TV-Ärzte VKA, TV-Ärzte TdL und Tarife der privaten Klinkverbände.

You can be an attending for THIRTEEN years out and your pay only gets to 120K USD. Their overall taxes will remove over 40% of that too. Your take home pay becomes 70k!! Absolutely horrendous direction to head towards.
Did you know they’re on strike right now for 5% pay increase? Lol
And they work insane hours for the low pay:
“According to a recent survey by the doctors’ union, 40 percent of doctors in German municipal clinics work 49 to 59 hours a week. One in five doctors had even higher weekly averages of 60 to 80 working hours, including all services and overtime.”
