Why not do Free Medical Education (Doctors and Nurses) in exchange for taking Single Payer patients

Why don't we pay for the medical education of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in exchange for them taking on Single Payer/Medicare for All patients. For current health care professionals, we can offer to forgive all outstanding student loan debt.

Or am I crazy?

p.s. I'm not saying lower the standards to get into medical school. The standards for admission/graduation would be the same. They would just have to accept Medicare/Single payer patients.

p.p.s. There would be a limit to the number of patients that they would be required to accept.

Okay, now you may call me crazy.

In the minds of Trump voters, do they accept Trump's crimes and craven behavior because Clinton and

Obama did the same thing? Have they been so indoctrinated by Fox, right wing radio, and the entire conservative media eco-system during the Clinton and Obama years into believing every negative, falsehood about both president that to them Trump's crimes are not as bad or just the same?

IOW, Vince Foster, Whitewater, Travelgate, Lewinsky, Kenyan, Saul Alinksy, Bill Ayers, email server, Benghazi == Putin, collusion with Russia, p**y grabbing, emoluments clause, Charlottesville, separating children from parents, paying off porn stars for sex, etc.

Since everyone commits the same or similar crimes as Trump, they're going to support him like we did with Clinton and Obama. Is that what's going on here?

Isn't Trump's cash payment of $12 billion to farmers straight up Socialism??!?!?!

Why isn't this called "Socialism"? Someone please explain. Thank you.

--Edited to correct the amount given to farmers.

What did the complementary angle say to the isosceles triangle?

Hey, Nice Legs.

Later the complementary angle was forced to resign.

The Republicans' vision for America is exactly the same as Putin's Russia

An oligarchic, kleptocratic, government that jails and/or kills political opponents and journalists, pushes for a pure ethnic state, forces Christianity onto the public, and supports autocratic rule in other nations.

This is why they support Putin and Trump.
