Make Becoming a Doctor a Little Easier

Nothing requires more education and training than a medical degree. And, interestingly, nowhere in our economy do we have such out-of-line prices as in the medical profession.

Requiring such a long and expensive process does have its effects. It limits the number of people who choose to become doctors.

This is not to say the time and money it takes to become a doctor is the sole reason health care is so expensive. It probably isn't even the main reason. But, it is one.

So, yes, we should consider making it less arduous to become a doctor. We need not throw away all our education requirements, but we do need to make them both less time consuming, and less expensive.
