We should be paying the full cost of education for those students qualified for medical school - if they complete the degree.    In return the graduate would work for the state for X years in selected clinics (preferably middle/low income), as repayment of their debt.       It would mean limiting income  for graduates if they serve middle/low incomes, but  would build social bonds in the community.    *Cost of education is  part of the justification  made for rising medical cost over the last 30 years.

It would increase the number of doctors, which would reduce demand/cost per doctor and allow talented people without financial resources to get and advanced degree without the burden of very large loans, which should hold price down.    

*A few years of public service to the nation/state has been discussed since the elimination of the draft.  

It's an idea for a goal, not meant to imply an exact proposal.
