Why not? If it benefits society as a whole, and it pays for itself through higher tax rolls, I'm for it.

I don't see everyone who wants to be a surgeon, actually qualified or capable of becoming surgeons. So the answer is a definite no.

If someone doesn't have the chops academically to become a surgeon, they wouldn't. Regardless of your ability to pay, if you flunk out, you flunk out.

Society does not benefit by overloading the University system with every bonehead who has a pipe dream. Space is limited, and I prefer those with drive, ability, and commitment to be in those seats.

We're still on a different page here. Making things more affordable only increases the pool of potential students. It doesn't lower academic standards or overload the university system.
