"deserve" is a meaningless term. What people are willing to pay is what any of us deserve

Separately from that, I've met some great ID docs. Crazy smart, very helpful, and they offer a great service to patients

Airline exec makes $7 million bonus package, invests 97% of profits in stock buybacks, panics during unforeseen event/pandemic, demands taxpayer bailout, proceeds to outsource maintenance crews, pushes for consolidation and other cost-cutting measures for short term profit over long term company health and continues said practice. They aren't worth taxpayers footing their bill.
