Reimbursement for GP services in the USA runs $150-$300/hour depending on whether you are seeing elderly patients or people on employment plans, and a doctor will see about half that, plus or minus depending on the setup. Hence $200k per year if a doctor sees about 6 or 7 hours of patients plus a few hours of paperwork, calls, and emails 5 days a week.
Many specializations come with very low job opportunities, being a GP is very stressfull: low paid assembly line type of work, a GP is expected to see 6 patient per hour, do home visits, follow up with patients and hospitals, and run a practice, manage employees, follow lots of trainings, etc. Having your own practice as a GP is not very popular any more, a lot of GP just want to freelance part time, not having the additional stress of running a practice.
