May 04, 2007

Part of the U.S. healthcare problem is too much money in the system.

Per Scientific American (subscription required), the average U.S. med school grad has $130,000 of debt, twice that of a French grad.

So, he wants to go into a high-paying specialty. That means being at a hospital or clinic with lots of fancy machinery. That means overusing the machinery.

Enough said?
