Those salaries were reported in 2004-05. Does it have the list of each foreign country with states/provinces? For instance, Germany has states like Bavaria, Berlin, Hamburg, Hesse, Bremen, Baden Mechlenburg-Western Pomerania, Saxony, Saxony-Ahnhaalt,etc.
Another example, The South Australia (province government) of Australia recently had to increase public hospital doctors' salaries last year due to resignation threats for months, demanding pay increases like up to $420,000, and improved conditions. Now, Emergency medicine consultants are happy with the offer of up to $393,400, Anesthetists have the offer of up to $393,400,etc. Those public hospital doctors in South Australia are highest paid in the entire Australia. Each state government in the country fixes all doctors' salaries. Salaries in each country vary from state to state.
Are the doctors in German states allowed to negotiate with public hospitals?
That's salary after taxes (with social insurance) for a general practitioner to take home-$78,169.2/year, depends on where they live, and lifestyle decision. Weird. In 80's, German general practitioners used to earn more than those present salary. That explains why present young doctors aren't satisfied with those salaries, and are moving out of Germany to UK, Norway, Denmark, Canada and Australia for high salaries, and improved working conditions. Frontline link even states so.
A few years ago, Saxony, Westphalia and Franconia were having problems-shortages of doctors. Have you heard anything about it? Have the state governments increase their salaries and improving working conditions lately?
In the US, depends on what they specialize, and where they practice (state tax and local tax vary). They all require to pay malpractice insurance. The estimate is at least $6,000 and way up like $120k, $130k. For instance, a surgeon would require more malpractice insurance, and performing high risk procedures would increase it further.
What do you think of illegal immigrants in Berlin getting 'anonymous insurance card' without being deporting? It appears residents in Berlin are very concerned.
