I think this is a very interesting point to the health care debate, and this reform offers a unique solution to the problem. Before reading these proposals, I was not aware of the lack of health care providers. Now knowing this problem, I feel that a reform is needed. This proposal offers a good way to help out people interested in going into the health care profession. By teaching students at secondary schools about health care professions, they could be more interested and dedicated to the job. By giving them a taste of a future career, it could inspire students to work harder in school. I think it is also important for the government to better fund geriatric care training, since this is incredibly important to our country’s health care system. I think a governmental program to help pay off student loans for people in the healthcare profession would be very helpful. As a student that was considering a career in medicine, the amount of money needed to pay for medical school definitely weighed into my decision. If there had been some way to get some of my schooling paid for, I may have considered this path more. Even if this raised tax dollars, I think that it would a good investment for our nations future. Most people trust and see the value in having a good doctor, so I think that raising taxes to support doctors would be widely supported. In order to improve our system, some money will need to be spent, and I think that making school less expensive for doctors is good expenditure. If there are more healthcare workers, it will be easier for people to get care. I think this is extremely valuable to our system. If we can make students want to join the healthcare field early on, we will have more doctors that can provide better care.
