I thought they went for the debt.
#1 reason for MD shortage is Med schools admitting students who aren’t going to practice. Only 60% of med students today plan on practicing clinical medicine. Med Schools need to focus on admitting students who want take care of patients, not just get their MD.

Remember this when they try to blame doctors for high health care costs.

Insured Americans are twice as likely to go out-of-network for mental health care compared to physical health care. Under our new plan, if insurance companies aren't treating mental health care on par with physical health care, they would be required by law to fix it.
