I don't see much wrong if an individual wants their barber to perform a tooth extraction or a blood letting, but the state wants dentistry, medicine...and even barber's to be licensed and to perform only the activities that they are licensed to do in order to protect the public interest.

Obama care has helped many people, as well as the latest insulin price cuts that were literally killing people who could NOT afford their medicine, as well as what to do with the insurance companies.

After learning medicine for most of my life, I dread going home to read medical journals to stay up to date, and it seems like my brain retains 0.1% of the content I read, on a good day.

When you are first moving out and living on your own, I can promise you you will come across expenses you probably never had to worry about (medicine, dry cleaning, various utilities, etc.).  

I served in the Marines out of high school and after my d/c I found myself interested in medicine. 

The only thing that's going to stop this is for us to take our medicine by stopping the printing presses and jacking rates.

Not sure where you concluded that I don't work hard or don't want it bad enough.I could be earning six figures right now had I not chosen to pursue medicine.

Got to med school, into option trading, and then quickly realized nothing would make as much guaranteed capital for me as my career would.My two cents of advice is prioritize education, preferably in a useful field that can make you a high W2 earner if all else fails - engineering, medicine, etc.

I always say if it is that bad, it will come down to who has the B'sbooze, babes, bandages, and bulletsI cheat and count medicine with bandagescigarettes will be valuable tooas will be fuel, and methods to transfer itthere is a good blog about hurricane katrina and another, I think it was about the Czech republics that are really informative about how things can get. oh, there was another I remember about Venezuela that was great too. they are too off topic for me to post, and probably even against site rules.
