Perhaps I am wrong about this… as I only read it one place and I can’t remember where.. but doesn’t the Medicare program practically fund the internships around this country? I thought for sure I read something to that effect.

First I’ve heard of it. If that is the case it doesn’t get around the fact that med school costs are astronomical.

Basically what I’m suggesting is to expand the role of teaching hospitals in the public health care system. It sounds kinda barbaric, but pay the MDs in training to practice on the uninsured.
