I'm all for lowering the cost of higher education but I'm skeptical that would bring down the cost of healthcare. Doctors who have long since paid off their student loans don't seem to be volunteering to take lower salaries; rather the opposite.

One approach could be to expand the availability of accelerated Baccalaureate-MD programs. Those cut education time by up to two years but are currently available at only a few schools.
