This is stupid.
USA have an GDP of 14 trillions.
If they cut off 50% of "security" expenses, they could eliminate poverty in this country(and maybe indirectly increase quality life around the world)
Ps.: There is also the american health system...that MUST change.
What have to be done is building and popularizing Medic Universities, with some incentives to low/med class people. Then, with more medics, i think that the salary wouldn't be so high.
Another problem is insurance plans and hospitals....
I don't know about USA, but in my country, when I pay for a doctor, around 5% to 25% goes to him if he is not independent. The rest goes of the money goes to health plan or hospital.
