Why Medical School Should Be Free
- tokenadult 15y agoThe article was written by two persons, who, by the descriptions of their credentials at the end of the article, have a very weak background in economics. Following the article's suggestion of "making medical education free, while charging those doctors who want to gain specialty training" still leaves open the question of how many M.D.s will want to engage in primary care, leaving unaddressed "the chronic wage gap between primary care providers and specialists." And when the article says, "For the plan to work, it will also be critical that medical schools do not start raising tuitions just because people other than their students are footing the bill," it basically announces that the plan won't work.
