So American taxpayers should fund the absurd cost of medical school instead? Genius

American taxpayers should fund medical schooling that is ruthlessly efficient, transparent, and operated with no profit motive.
Either that or you will have even fewer doctors with much higher salaries. How would a doctor be able to afford any sort of life working 80hours a week to barely pay back loans accumulated over a decade of education. Supply/Demand
I have doctors in my family. They would be sad to know the truth, just like you. There's nothing special about American doctors... the education, the quality. It's just another classic example of the fat needing to get cut. And there's a juicy chunk of fat to cut here
Lets get some of that cheap foreign government subsidies and allow foreign doctors into the US. What a win!
