There are 65,000 medical students in America. That's 0.02% of the population. They graduate, on average, $149,000 in debt. That's a total of 9.1 billion dollars of debt. That's 0.05% of our countries national debt.
9.1 billion dollars, however, would be covered by the income of the two largest health insurance companies in America.
Single payer system?
Yea. Maybe we should think about that. Or anything, really. This system is not sustainable and pissing off future doctors isn't really something this country should be doing.
