Let’s stop beating around the bush, President Soetero, Obama, Wilberforce, whatever your name is.
Let’s take a random selection of 50% of the top 10% of every high school graduating class and ship them off to special installations in remote parts of the country.
There they will partake in a compulsory education in college-level courses designed to make them nurses, pharmacists, or lab techs; all of the programs designed to work as pre-medical degrees so that they may all take a compulsory MCAT and the top-scoring 10% or so will be enrolled in compulsory medical school. Students will be provided with food, housing, and Wi-Fi. A variety of disciplinary measures will be approved to minimize unnecessary academic failure; the measures include psychological, pharmacological, social, and corporal discipline techniques. Washouts will be thrown into the streets, placed in menial labor roles, or enrolled in the medical experimental volunteer list, depending on what makes sense at the time.
Graduates of the program will be guaranteed a luxurious lifestyle in 500 square foot government condos with a weekly ration of 10 pounds of government granola, 5 pounds of government mystery meat, and 1 pound of government cheese, along with a 512 MB daily Internet bandwidth quota, in perpetuity so long as they work in a volunteer capacity at a local government-approved hospital or clinic. Deserters of the program will be automatically enrolled as medical experimental volunteers.
I think this is what would really help out our healthcare system, Mr. President. I hope you’ll consider it.
Sincerely,
Joe M.
Well, hell. That would work! Citizen or civilian? Would you like to know more?
