3/10 you can do better than that.The smartest people in the country are the illegal immigrants that go to the hospital and get fixed for free. We deserve to get extorted the way we do.

So make education free for all or heavily subsidized like the UK.How about the high cost of medical education that is free or largely subsidized in these other countries, the numerous years of low-income post-graduate training, the risks unique to practicing medicine in the US, and the growing cost of clinical practice?
I know I never would have gone into medicine if it only paid around $100-150k. No way would it be worth it.I bet if we get the pay down low enough they’ll get better people
Much like Obamacare. Its a lie to get socialists to be forced capitalists thinking they are getting something for free or cheap.
And derp ditty day to those suckers being happy with that and tricked by it...one of the biggest lies of the 20th century.
Idea what their political leanings were? I am interested in knowing where this idea came from as it makes no sense.
It really has become a huge cost in the US. I saw a graph that summarized the public and private spending on healthcare per capita in a lot of various nations, and the US were actually the highest in both public and private spending. So despite people in the US having to have private health insurance the government still has to pay more than other countries.
It's weird how far things have gotten out of control as it's in competition with countries that really are expensive to live in, like Switzerland.
Edit: Figured I might as well find the image to post. I was apparently mistaken on the public costs as well, the US is #2 behind Norway. These are a bit old stats, so the difference might be larger, but it's just a nice visual aid.
Norway government kicks in more than the American but consumers kick in about a quarter as much.
Obviously you’re greedy and ruining AmericaI know I never would have gone into medicine if it only paid around $100-150k. No way would it be worth it.
That's easy enough to resolve. Simply make medicine a 4 year post-high school program, like it is in those countries. Then your budding physician only has 4 years of education debt, not 8.How about the high cost of medical education that is free or largely subsidized in these other countries, the numerous years of low-income post-graduate training, the risks unique to practicing medicine in the US, and the growing cost of clinical practice?

I should have written that better. I meant make it a post-high school program like other countries and do it in 4 years, not that other countries do it in 4 years.What countries are you talking about?
Denmark has 6 years basic education, then 2x6 months months clinical basic education. Then you can work for max 4 years before starting a specialty (if so desired) that requires additional years of education.
Of course they are a distraction. That's why he is bringing them up

I think that rushing medical school in 4 years wouldn´t produce very good doctors.
I don't think it's rushing it at all. Medical school is already only 4 years. It's the undergraduate component that would be axed. Consolidate the prereqs into 1.5 years. Move one year of the clinical years into the residencies and the subspecialties.
You have to wonder then why competition hasn't lowered the cost.

Great point. I know that in Japan for example, you can finish your bachelors and med school in just 5 years total at $5K per year.How about the high cost of medical education that is free or largely subsidized in these other countries, the numerous years of low-income post-graduate training, the risks unique to practicing medicine in the US, and the growing cost of clinical practice?
