The prospect of going to school for 10 years, amassing huge amounts of debt, and entering a field where you are not in control over what your "product" is worth has cast a lot of doubt on their prospects for the future.
I recently had an outpatient procedure done on a knee at a local Orthopedics office. The bill for that procedure exceeded $4,000. With Medicare and secondary insurance payments all in, the doctor's net was less than 600 bucks. Again, this is something going on all over the country...not just here in the bubble.

Yes, yes, yes - 10 years of tough University training and a Doctor becomes a worker-bee SLAVE like in the middle ages. Slaves to the Insurance Companies' GREEDY EXECUTIVES. That IS why the US needs National Health Care just like the REAL non-GREEDY countries of the world.
.........The US pays the MOST in the world for Health Care and the results are ludicrous......we are in the bottom half for RESULTS / OUTCOMES for 1st world countries !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those statistics speak volumes for THEMSELVES.
........It seems like countries get the Health Care that they deserve.
