You pay to the insurance company which reimburses doctors like ***** and combined with overhead prices rising like oil many family docs are not making all that much really. If you consider the hours many of them also put in it's really not that much. In addition the average student loan debt for a graduating doc is at 167,000$. Most docs will end up paying over $200K for school after loan interest $300k is not that unheard of if you are on a 15 yr repayment plan. (not saying that many elective procedure docs are not compensated very well though)
