This is true, but the numbers of top Hollywood actors who are making millions per film is about 10% of total Hollywood actors, maybe? 15%? There are very few Brad Pitts and Nicole Kidmans. Most actors don't become household names, and Broadway actors don't earn nearly as much as Hollywood actors. It's the same thing for top professional athletes, who earn millions, versus ordinary athletes, who become physical education teachers or insurance salespeople.

But the percentage of psychologists in the United States who earn $100-200 per hour session is close to 80%. Sometimes, a psychologist might use a sliding scale or work at a non-profit for less money, but the vast majority earn $100-200 per hour whether working in private practice, in a clinic, or in a hospital. Even psychological social workers with MFT, MS, or MA degrees earn $60-120 per hour.

I think when costs are paid for by insurance or by taxes, people don't question the bills are much as their own discretionary spending.
