> I don't think we really need to create more skilled medical professionals,

USA has 5 million medical professionals, almost as much medics per capita as Cuba.

Nah, we don't have all those doctors for the sick. We have doctors for every type of plastic surgery you can imagine, doctors for aging, doctors for athletic training, doctors that specialize in hips, others in just ankles, also shoulders only, others that only do laser eye surgery, others that only do teeth, some just for gums, some only do tooth implants. And on and on.

There is a shortage of doctors that actually treat sick people.
