More than half of the $3.2 trillion is on hospital care, physician and clinical services. Are surgeons and CEOs gonna accept less pay?

Healthcare providers in the US have been used to ludicrously fat checks for a long time. How would that get dialled back?

I would love it if the answer was "well, they'll just have to accept the very generous salaries the rest of the world has", but reality?

physician salary spread makes little sense to me. know people doing sub specialities (3 extra years) knowing they'll make LESS money

I should explain more. My understanding is there is little supply/demand effect on these salaries.
