>paying high salaries because our education costs have skyrocketed

This whole thread is chockablock with fallacies, but let's limit ourselves to this one for now.

Education costs are sunk costs. Doctor's salaries have nothing to do with education cost.

Doctor's salaries are high because the government restricts the number of doctors. That leads to high salaries for doctors. Supply and demand, not sunk costs.

Hint: you've got a bunch more fallacies in your post!
