> Solution? Get rid of income taxes, make medical schools optional to practice, just make exams open to any participant, affordable education channels will pop up by themselves. Don't regulate medical malpractice, practicians should rather have their lives ruined instead, it's actually a stronger incentive to proper practice than having a big insurer paying the millions in settlement cases. All those make society worse. Alternatively: - subsidize or cap education fees so that students don’t go into crushing debt - reduce inefficiencies resulting from a for profit insurance system by switching to a single payer social insurance system - cap malpractice claims and put in better controls against frivolous lawsuits - doing all this also lower doctors wages

Subsidising? See what happens when we do. And it doesn't mean nobody pays, tax payers. And that would make the education and health sectors even worse than they are. We already have armies of people taking on studies that are dead ends, and medical services that are pure money making scams. You are advocating for more people being forced to contribute for unjustified expenses. It doesn't need to be argumented against anyway, the economy cannot take much more tax levels, we are probably defaulting on paying taxes we are asked to pay at this point.

Capping is a common practice for medical services in European countries, but so many other aspect fall in-line with this, e.g more socialised research funding, public universities with research department colluding with the private sector. We could make a comparison in its entirety, no idea which is better, but capping prices is fundamentally incompatible with a near total free market. Which is the market discussed in this article. In a free market. Cut the imposed taxes, and let people be judge of which service they want to purchase given clear pricing. Society worse? See the handling of the pandemic, I don't think the source of the problem comes from lack of regulations.
