I'm confident that if somehow we contain the preposterous way-over-any-rate-of-inflation explosion in health care costs there will still be kids lining up to get into med school. And if they won't, there are about 10 million talented and highly educated young Indian doctors who will gladly emigrate here to take their place. Legally.

The thought of medical pro compensation having fiscal constraints (like the rest of the white collar work force) may be a novel concept to Mr. Namenda, but he might want to get used to it. It's supposed to be how we all stay healthy. It's not intended as a ticket to yachts and mansions for great surgeons. That's not the idea. If some doctors make big money within that system, great. But it is getting harder. Finally.

This notion that if a med school diploma isn't a punching a $1 million dollar per year ticket that we'll run out of doctors is ridiculous.
