So, tell me this, if you have option A, to make $100,000, versus option B, to make more as a specialist, what do you choose? My friend went into gastroenterology, not because he would make less otherwise, but because that work interests him. And he very strongly supports the Affordable Care Act, so much so that he has actually gone to DC and lobbied for it. So he doesn't fit your assumption in the least bit.
