It's hard to get more doctors and nurses when no one can afford to go to college.

One reason is because there are so many colleges offering so many garbage degrees with promises of a grand future.
Another reason is that it’s a real bitch to be a doctor today. My family doctor has been seriously thinking about quitting because of all the hoops he needs to jump through every day.
Government regulations.
Hospital administrators.
Nurses can get their degrees easier but they are then asked to work 12 hour days and night shifts for their whole career.
It’s not the easiest lifestyle.

But you must know it's not as easy as "join the reserves, get free college". There are maximum amounts, and it's based on how many hours/years you put in. These options would never pay a doctor/nurses tuition.
They would pay for it if you were becoming a doctor for the military, but that doesnt help the civilian masses suffering through the shortage.
It's just not that simple.
Not to mention abuse of healthcare workers, be it through patient abuse, or abuses of healthcare workers time, etc. is rampant and gets worse as time goes on. It takes selfless people to become nurses especially, and we haven't reakly raised a generation of selfless people for a while.

Thirty eight percent of people will have cancer in their lifetime now. I remember when cancer was pretty rare, but most people who had it take hold died from it. Now the percentage of people who die from it is way less, but since the incidents are way higher, more people die now from cancer than they did back in the sixties.
We need to identify the chemicals that are causing people's immune system to not detect the cancer when it first forms, not get more medical people. Now they say that many sunscreens and cosmetics increase the risk of ER+ Breast cancer. It will be many years before the problem gets fixed and these chemicals are banned in this country, and many billions of money going to the Medical and pharmaceutical industry.

Not only that, it seems that it can cause skin cancer too.

Then you need extra people to do the big increase of paperwork the government requires.

We need to find out what can be taken out of foods to make us not need doctors.

People are living longer which probably increases the likelihood of getting cancer. A big issue with our health system now is that it is keeping people alive way longer than in the past. Almost all the costs with our health care system are at end of life. Basically, granny has a stroke, diabetes, cancer, etc and drugs / tech is able to keep them living when 50 years ago, they would have been dead. All that tech cost a ton of money. In addition, the actuarial tables really don't account for people living so much longer when it comes to things like social security and pensions hence why they are so broke.
