But when it's "affordable" EVERYONE will want a medical degree..... And when that's the case - those medical degrees will earn minimum wage....

I see no reason to think that EVERYONE wants to be a doctor, or would if the training were free. Lots of people want to be other things. And even if everyone did want a medical degree, and it were cheap, that doesn't mean that everyone could get one. Those things are hard.  RE: Random Thoughts

Yeah because affordable means everyone is capable of handling the strain of medical school. Being a doctor has nothing to do with talent or anything . It's just because you could afford it

Not everyone is qualified to take a medical degree, universities necessarily limit the number of places available, affordability isn’t the only reason people go into medicine, etc. This applies to all professions and most trades. If a plumbing college offering free tuition, room and board, textbooks, OTJ training and job placement were to open up across the street from my house, I wouldn’t sign up. Anyroad, my earlier point was that people will accept or reject an idea based in part in how it’s presented to them. This was evident when the ACA was rolled out and was decried by the right as liberal socialism, even though Romney enacted a similar scheme when he was governor. Boru
