Interview of Secretary of Health of the Government of Acre, calling brazilian doctors mercenaries.

The Acre government paid for doctors around $ 4.200 - 5.500 a month for a workload of 40 hours a week.

So, let´s follow this calculation:
$ 5.500 / 160 hours (month) = $ 34,67/hour. If a medical doctor do four appointment per hour, so $ 34,67 / 4 = $ 8,56. Ultimately, the professional will earn $ 8,56 per attendance.

Is this a payment for mercenary?
