“Chose not to train enough” is an interesting way to put it, I think you mean “young people are choosing not to agree to self finance a quarter million dollar education so they can serve the public good”.
This was something I argued to change when I ran for Congress. The US doesn’t have enough doctors and it is partly because we choose not to train enough. That means increased costs/wait for us when things are normal and much worse now. Congress has the power to change this.https://twitter.com/eugenegu/status/1245386325852704768 …

I would say both are true. In addition to the high out of pocket costs, there are also limits on the number of slots at med schools as well as limited residency slots. All of the above need to to be fixed.

It is ridiculously hard and expensive to become a doctor in this country. It should be changed

There are thousands of well qualified applicants refused admittance to medical schools because of limited spots. Government could easily correct the problem. After this, I bet the spots become available! This won’t be the world’s last pandemic!

Pharma runs medical Academia - it’s not “Healthcare” - they learn how to read a PDR. Do we want more robots or time for a new education? Why are immune systems so screwed up - they shouldn’t be. There are trillions of virus’s - they aren’t leaving.
