We can't create enough doctors because medical school is prohibitively expensive. Universal healthcare and universal higher education go hand in hand.

Wow, you are so confident saying this when you are wrong.

More people want to go to medical school than there are spots open. If you create more spots, you get more doctors. Cost is not a barrier to medical school, loans for this profession are very easy to obtain.

Wow, you are so confident when you provide literally zero evidence to back up your claim either.

Though that's not what I was addressing. I was addressing the criticism of universal healthcare that we'll somehow run out of doctors. The issue is it costs money for a school to run a med school. Making the government pay for it enables more med schools to be built.
