So why not structure it so the tuition is completely forgiven if someone does this rather unconditionally free?

I don't see why someone who goes to this medical school, only to become a cosmetic surgeon who ultimately makes millions a year doing discretionary procedures should have free tuition.

There seems to be some shift going on in society. Like we've acknowledged a world with "haves" and "have nots" is unavoidable, so we might as well just focus on diversifying the "haves" and give everyone an equal shot at winning the lottery.

I guess that's better, but it's a sad thing to settle for.
