>There is no "full current subsidy" - the existing contributions from Medicare are already a partial subsidy.

In the context, I meant "100% of current level"; I didn't mean to imply that it was "full" in that sense (and my point didn't depend on such).

>t this is kind of a meaningless debate after a point, because the number of unmatched residents is already an upper bound on the number of additional matches (you certainly wouldn't have more people interested when you increased the price to them)

You wouldn't have enough doctors if residents had to bear $1 extra in costs? That is implausible.

With respect, this exchange does not feel productive.
