Yes, but those values are before bonuses for meeting "QOFs" (Quality and Outcomes Framework).

QOFs not only an incentive for GPs (ie, ensuring HbA1c is checked, and keeping it below 6.5, etc), but is also better for the patient. And allows for prevention.

GP on average earn 100k pounds. AVERAGE. And the exchange value is historically low, around 1.4-1.5. 10 years ago 1 GBP = 2 USD. So on average GP in UK make around 180K USD. And of course, free health care. I don't know FM salaries too well, but I'm gonna guess the average in the U.S is around 160k?
Compare this with specialists:

The maximum they make is 102k pounds. Now of course, you can do private work on the side to boost your income. But the private system in the UK is not very developed (far less than Australia, and obviously not like the U.S). So there are GPs in UK earning more than Spinal Surgeons...I don't think in the U.S you'll find too many GPs earning >>> Spinal surgeons.
