      Our whole system should be scrapped, but that’s too hard. It’s purposefully Byzantine and everyone hates it. If only I knew the correct Jenga piece.

      I kinda wonder if we were somehow magically able to make it a more transparent system whether people would be ok either spending 18% or gdp or getting way less expensive healthcare. And whether healthy people would be cool with subsidizing the old and sick.

      Full disclosure I’m academic so don’t fully benefit from the grift (at least not directly). But I don’t think really anyone who can stop it would take a nominal pay cut. That being said plenty of people would still want to be doctors at 20% less pay.

      I’m sure of that. But they won’t be the smartest or the most driven to discover and innovate. They’ll do finance, etc. What you’ll get are B and C students. Immigrants who can’t speak English. Okay for 90% of medicine. The problem is, they won’t know 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 90%.

      The current medical system has incredibly onerous requirements specifically to weed out the ludicrous number of applicants they get, all with 4.0s in premed and high school. I don't think this will be a problem unless we seriously start cutting wages.

      The better solution is probably just to stop capping the number of doctors we make each year, make costs public, then let supply&demand do the work.
