Full title: 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, and treason.

I want a doctor that became a doctor because they wanted to help people, and not because of the money and/or their parents riding their ass to become one. Also they graduated with straight As. Nobody wants the doctor that barely passed with Ds.

The costs of medical school make this an impossible ask. The only people that can go to medical school are the people that have rich parents, or are OK with leveraging their future for the chance at becoming a successful doctor. Things go wrong in peoples lives all the time, school gets interrupted all the time. Asking people who just want to help others to pay $300k for the privilege of attempting to get to that point is literally insane. We also have a huge shortage of doctors. Go figure.

If Ds are actually Fs, then they'll get rid of Ds and then teachers will just make the tests easier. Someone decided this person's knowledge was enough to progress.
