    Please tell me how this plan will get medical personnel to accept less pay while carrying burdensome college/med school loans and at the same time reduce the lawsuits. That's the medical, educational and legal systems - good luck with tackling all that. Not to mention the drug industry and the drop in people who would want to go into the medical field - so much studying for so little pay? A pharmacist, physical therapist and audiologist all currently need doctorates. Primary care docs - at least 11? years - more for specialties and surgery.
    Holy ! PT was my major when I first started school since I was working as a PT aide. I had no idea they'd made it a doctorate degree. What a bull ripoff for that job.

    I agree with this. In the sense there's too many prongs to tackle (we touched upon two: college loan costs and price capping), but that's why I said it's a practical problem at this point. There has to be a political will to at least tackle one problem at a time.

    ie: Student loans are an issue in and of itself at this point.
    Honestly, we've gone through this a million times. The fact that almost every other country, rich or poor, already figured out the whole healthcare conundrum a long time ago, and we're still pretty much the only suckers on the planet, tells you this is just a dogma problem at this point, not a practical problem.
    Actually, you did say earlier that it is NOT a practical problem.

    Apologies, misspoke. It's not a practical problem. We know the issues, and we know they're numerous, but there's simply no political will. Not because we don't know the problems or that we don't know of possible solutions, but because some of those solutions go to the core of certain dogmas.

    Hope that's more clear.

    Shocking. Republican columnist writes something criticizing Democrats.

    Lockdown the website, we got a winner here.

    The only thing is who is on the Board of Directors?

    Show us another zinger from Salon or Vanity Fair. I'm sure 'theatlantic' is fair and balanced.

    another problem is how litigious the US is. hospitals pay through the roof for malpractice insurance, and that cost isn't absorbed. it's passed on to consumers
    Meh tort reform did to lower prices in Texas.

    Take note that the benefit of white students as a result of implementing an objectively more fair practice is being positioned as a negative outcome.

    "So much of the push towards voter registration is directed at blacks and other people of color, but we ain’t the problem. When we vote, the vast majority of us take a look at the ballot box and choose the candidates who are the most sane and the least evil."


    He's connecting skin color with evil. He's a columnist for GQ. I see no signs of such hate speech from people of color being silenced or more importantly punished. All signs point to it increasing. I personally do not feel comfortable having white children in America.

    Asians are claiming, like Jews 100 years ago, that they are being denied for their race, their look, when they are fully qualified, even more qualified than whites.

    Harvard could probably fill their entire freshman classes only with Jews and Asians (east and south) on merit alone, but that would prevent Harvard from preserving Euro-White (Male) Supremacy.

    btw, C-student dubya was an "affirmative action" admission to Yale as a legacy student via his father. Same as dubya getting into Harvard, obviously occupying a spot that should have gone to A+ candidate.
