The only possible way for an EU doctor to earn as much as doctor in the states is to own a clinic and hire doctors to work for him.

so every doctor in the US that works in a hospital has his salary based on performance? hard to imagine..
but even if so - i WAAY prefer the system over here then - because instead of making doctors millionaires, it helps keeping the healthcare costs for everyone acceptable
and like you said - if a doctor wants to open his own clinic or practice he's free to do so.
