You want to know WHY all that shit is so expensive now? Because collective western governments haven't focused on:
Building and upgrading infrastructure
Training and skill acquisition natively
Instead it's always short term shit, like welfare and mass immigration, you want that 'lifestyle' not to be 400k a year? Ditch the illegals, toss welfare and work on getting the logistics at home not just to WORK but be more efficient.
This is an ongoing argument I have with my colleagues, some of whom claim to be conservative(See again: Conservatism is the enemy too). They'll go "oh but we can't fill our needs domestically so we need to import all of our doctors." Bitch, no you fucking don't. You simply need to build out the on-ramp to the profession domestically. Not enough people becoming doctors? Provide more incentive. Not enough people taking on X profession? Increase incentives. People are dumb reactive animals and will respond to incentives.
There is no good reason for us to remain dependent on foreigners for our country to continue functioning in any capacity. If we lack a skill set domestically then the response should be to cultivate that skill set rather than throwing up our hands and going "guess we need to import more barbarians."
Med schools don't want more students, they want to gate-keep their profession so they can make boatloads of cash from it. When I was looking at med schools in Canada a few years ago, the head of Queen's University's medical school was making $600k a year as nothing more than a politician-administrator. They get like 80 students a year...
The dark secret of medicine is that your doctor is a midwit who mostly just punches your symptoms into Google or the hospital's proprietary ChatGPT shell and reads you the result. The purpose of the decade of school and the residency and the loans and the licensing and all that shit is to keep other people from competing with his keyboard pressing profession.
Are you fucking serious

Physicians aren't necessarily smart - but they certainly aren't lazy.
