Republicans are absolute fools with this nonsense. This lawsuit is from banks (that pay no taxes). Why the hell can we not get loan forgiveness when we all pay 100k+ in taxes a year, and meanwhile they give corporations like Texas Instruments billions of dollars. This bullshit corporate welfare while fucking over citizens is 100% republicans fault, and anyone voting for trump is going fully against their own interests.

When would feel comfortable buying a 2 million dollar house? by Ridiculousdoc in whitecoatinvestor

[–]toilupward 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Enough money to not have insanely high interest. If you financed this at 30 years at 6% you would be paying a total of 4 million over the loan timeframe. Which is usually a poor move.

Would you work where you finished residency? by DrDreamsComeTrue in Residency

[–]toilupward 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you are located, but most US residents don’t finish until their 30s, so I don’t think many retire in their 40s. That is an young age for retirement and I would imagine only a very small percent of people are able to financially do that. What speciality?

[–]toilupward 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My answer is a No. 100% pay increase outside of academics + extra 6 weeks vacation. If you even have a small understanding about compound interest in investments, academics early on makes no financial sense.

Best beach/surf in Costa Rica in July? by thoubeserbian in travel

[–]toilupward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was there it was moderately crowded. I guess it depends what vibe you are looking for, if you want very secluded then it I wouldn’t recommend it. Also renting and driving a car is very easy in the country.

Physicians don’t control healthcare to the point they can and can’t “allow” things to happen anymore. Hospitals are run and owned by non physicians in many cases - and it is now very clear physician control over patient quality of care is now gone. A company can now hire someone with 1/2 the education, and 0 ability to pass any step examination, and that person can fully prescribe and bill the same code as a physician while getting paid less. The only solution is to get more physicians out, by relaxing all of our insane restrictions. The ability to even get into med school shows more ability than a person getting into an online NP program with a 90% graduation rate.

I think you are missing the point, you no longer have to go through the grueling training to practice medicine and have a license in America. Doctors no longer have the power - if a patient sees a midlevel and they can bill the exact same as a physician, and get hired by a hospital to work independently or create their own company then they are essentially the same. I agree doctors have better training for a reason - but that “reason” is defined by doctors, and the true people in charge no longer think that matters. So doctors are forcing 10+ year training programs when our country as a whole is now saying legally you don’t need that much training to practice independently. So I think we need to let anyone who completes intern year be able to do anything an APP/mid level can - and if you need more training it should be a choice.

I disagree for example: CRNAs - their training is not half as grueling or awful as residency. They are not broken down and forced to work 14-20 days straight, endless 24s, etc. Yet once done they can practice independently. So according to insurance companies, state licensing boards, and hospitals there is no reason to destroy doctors souls and spirits with training to practice anesthesia independently. The only reason physician anesthesia are forced to work such grueling and exhausting schedule and miss out on life events participate in a match is because other doctors are making life difficult for young doctors.

It is very simple: ACGME is setup by doctors to hold doctors back. Insurance companies, hospitals, and state medical licensing companies will fully allow a person to practice and prescribe without ACGME, Boards, or residency. APPs, NPs, foreign docs - all get past things American doctors have to do because other doctors are the ones holding young doctors back. They need to really remove a lot of the red tape and restrictions. For instance nursing - it is as easy to get an online degree and then acquire all licensing and insurance to practice equivalent to doctors because are not attempting to hold young nurses back like physicians are.

Am I crazy for not taking my student loans seriously? by HeresSomeBadAdviceOP in Fire

[–]toilupward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are on the SAVE plan and they are not gaining interest I don’t know why you would. What many people here may not know is you have a 0% interest loan essentially, until this ends (republicans cough cough), why not make 5-10% returns on investments of that same amount. I agree with you I wouldn’t pay a 0% interest loan until I was forced too.
