Sure, you're no longer charging the med students for the cost of running a med school. But that just means that you have to ask taxpayers to cover the cost of running the med school.
Yes. With a progressive tax system, that should be manageable. As I always say, it's not how much tax you pay, but what you get for your money.
Also, I suspect government could influence the costs (at least at public universities).
Over the lifetime of the doctor, you'll probably pay -as patients- a lot less than just the cost of the med school. Doctors won't need to pay off huge debts (with interest!), but that lower salary will carry on after they -in our present system- would have paid off those loans. Time value of money will kick in for the doctors.
