Increase the capacity of the medical schools to produce doctors, and then let them do so. Currently, the medical schools have a kind of cartel that restricts the number of people who can become doctors. That is really the nexus of the problem.
I disagree. Under our system, if there were more doctors, the financial rewards of being a doctor would be substantially less because of supply and demand. I can tell you, I would not have gone $250,000 in debt, worked 70 hours per week, and postponed my life for eight years if the potential did not exist to turn that around.
Doctors are only a small portion of the total health care bill. What do you do to about hospitial and medical equipment costs? Perscription drug costs? Nurses? Lab technicians? Hospital administrators?
