I mostly agree, but I'll point out that the $300,000 / year part isn't the problem. If we just raise the doctor's salaries to $500,000/year, it won't really so

I mostly agree, but I'll point out that the $300,000 / year part isn't the problem. If we just raise the doctor's salaries to $500,000/year, it won't really solve those other, more important issues. ------ Similarly, if we lower the cost of creating Doctors, I don't think we'll necessarily see a drop in their salary. We're in too much of a doctor shortage for that to happen, at least immediately. (Of course, the market / supply+demand will shift things in the long run, but that's over a 20+ year cycle and not over a short one)
