free schooling for doctors/surgeons & nurses/practitioners [View all]

They are talking about a shortage of primary care physicians and how a lot of Doctors may not be accepting new patients on Medicare/ Medicaid because they don't make as much $$ off them. One possible solution I thought of....

Since pilots can get all their training for free in the military if they have top notch grades and pass a battery of assessments....Maybe medical professionals should be able to get free training too, in the military or civilian...from the government. In exchange for free training, they agree to accept medicare/ medicaid patients for a fixed amount of time.....10/20 years....
