yeah this is a pretty fundamental misunderstanding of economics. Athletes aren't paid by the government

I mean I live in a country with universal health care, but I'm not sure if the surgeons are paid by the hospital/medical institution. Not in the direct sense at least.

Yeaaaa. No. I, and many others can barely afford medical care now. Imagine if the person treating me cost millions of dollars just to show up.

I partially agree, but then again the working life of a surgeon is multiple years, possibly decades. Athletes not so much.
