"Medical-school costs have risen at double the rate of inflation in recent decades, with average annual tuition and fees now about $50,000. Since most medical students must borrow to pay for their education, physician debt has grown sharply. The median for 2012 graduates was $170,000, and more than a tenth of private-school graduates owe more than $300,000, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. Meanwhile, physician income is widely expected to decline under ObamaCare. Rising educational debt and the prospect of declining income threaten to reduce the number of young men and women who choose medicine as a career."

Also, care teams would be trained together, collaboratively and with mixed disciplines. Docs, nurses, etc together. #whatifhc #medx
