>>>First Doctors don't restrict the supply. It's restricted by the huge cost of educating a physician TO OUR STANDARDS. Do you really think an undergraduate degree would make a good physician? <<<
Like I said, healthcare in other nations (where medicine's typically a focused UNDERGRADUATE degree) is surprisingly good and much more affordable. We're brainwashed if we think doctors are the victims, instead of potential patients themselves.
Meanwhile, anybody who tries to "union bust" by working in place of their mafia ring goes to jail. Talk about the hippocratical oath :-)

Are you still beating this tiresome old conspiratorial "doctor's union" drum? You did this months ago. You need to expand your horizons. Go to PA school, go overseas to med school and take the test on reentry. The fact is, it's expensive to educate a doctor here or anywhere. It's not like a law school, which only has to have classrooms, a library, and some burned-out old rainmakers to churn out the legions of lawyers. You're not likely to see medical licensing of physicians abandoned wholesale in your lifetime, as you seem to want. You might as well want the moon to fall.

I'd perfectly happy to compete with your undertrained replacements. Just be sure they get held to all the same legal, bureaucratic, and liability standards. Give me 5 more years and I'll be happy to step aside completely and let your MI be managed by someone with a Bachelor's degree.
