Not all doctors are on the Republican bandwagon. One writes to me:
All the anti-reform ‘no gub-mint’ in health care Docs had ALL of their salary during their residency paid for by the Feds. If they hate the govenment so much, how ’bout they repay all that, with interest?
FYI, for this year, interns, i.e. first year after graduation, is about $45,000.
If it were up to me, I would make med school tuition free and strictly merit based. As it is now, folks graduate w/ $100k in student loan debt, and it is patients who re-pay that plus huge interest. You could cut physician salaries right off the bat.
