To: End The Hypocrisy
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.

So why exacerbate barriers to entry like the AMA uniquely does, so that only the rich (and usually patient-detesting) candidates get to become doctors? Overseas, folks generally go into medicine for the love of medicine, not of money. And I reiterate what you conveniently ignore: medicine's an UNDERgraduate degree in most countries. Who said anything about abolishing medical licensing?
