1. Medical school costs, # of doctors, doctor pay... it seems to me that if you switch to universal health care, you'll be needing to worry a lot about how doctors are going to pay off med school. I'm not sure how 'efficient' the medical school market is at the moment.

There is absolutely no effieciency in this market. The AMA controls how many doctors get licenses, and how many med schools exist. They do this to artificially increase doctors' income and eliminate competition.

costs of training med school student > tuition

therefore

not a lot of med schools.
