SocketWrench posted:Well, the race in Alabama was going neck and neck which says to Republicans "no one cares", and Trump endorsing him leaves them little choice. The party of family values seems to not have an issue with kiddie diddling...unless it's the other side that does it Anecdotal, but I do know a few formerly diehard Republican voters who are now talking about voting for Democrats as a result of this. They sincerely believe that gay and trans people are just itching for an excuse to molest kids, and the GOP openly accepting and supporting a known pedophile is a bridge too far for them.

This would have an effect of forcing doctors to move to more rural areas where there are more high paying jobs just to pay off debt. I know Family Practice doctors that work in an inpatient hospital in rural Texas that make north of $400k. The same position in New York City or LA would be around $150-175k starting. I was talking with a General Surgery resident with 1.5 years left to go in her training. She's a single mother. Half a million dollars in debt right now. There's no way to discharge that debt by going bankrupt. She will have to get the highest paying job available if the PSLF goes away. Public defenders are going to be screwed. Any sort of family services will be even more depleted. This all "gently caress you, give me money." It will create a permanent Democratic Party block of college educated 18-35 year olds.

Alter Ego posted:Their contempt for Trump and the underlying fact that a) Mueller fired this guy for anti-Trump texts and b) the story hasn't shown up anywhere credible except as a "hey, look at how Fox is furiously humping this coconut" piece tells me that this probably won't be the case this time. I read an interesting argument (somewhere, don't recall where) that one of the little-realized dynamics about the right wing media sphere right now is that it's how you lobby trump, and the theory was that people in the RWM are flogging this less as something they expect to seriously break through in the media and more to try to get Trump to fire Mueller because they view that as his best course of action. This story hits Trump's buttons - fear of disloyalty, rage at the idea that he does not own everyone in the government despite being appointed king - and a lot of the rwm nutters who don't even pretend to believe in democracy strongly believe that allowing Mueller to complete his work is a really bad idea.

Ravenfood posted:Fun fact: this utterly fucks over resident physicians, especially those who are planning on being PCPs, general practitioners, hospitalists, intensivists, or, really, anything besides highly over-paid specialists. Med school debt is so high in part because it comes with the promise of high wages (and it does) but residents earn basically gently caress-all. Their hourly rate is absurdly low given what they do: while they make an average of 50k/year pre-tax, they're working between 60-80 hours for huge chunks of that time, giving them an hourly wage that's as low as 13/hr. That doesn't count the fact that they're often on-call and responsible to outpatient clinic pages without being able to bill for those hours. So, ability to pay at around 250k in med school loans, plus undergraduate loans, is somewhat limited, and everyone I know has to take income-based repayment at least during their residency. Yes, attending salary is quite a bit better: but some of the costs of med school are predicated on the fact that people are absolutely gunning for the high-paying positions. One of the hardest specialties to get into is plastic surgery because of the salary, while general practitioner, which is essentially the most important as far as health outcomes for the country go, get much less and so is very easy to get into. Its somewhat mitigated by the public loan forgiveness program: unless a plastic surgeon works in a burn ward (and not a private, lucrative clinic) they won't be eligible for the forgiveness, but GPs would be. Personally, I'd rather not have this weird system where we massively dissuade people from going into general practice right at the same time we're facing a significant shortage of GPs, but that's me. (Or maybe we should, since I'm an NP student and the NP system is growing so rapidly because of the lack of physicians) My wife is a hospitalist at a public hospital and thinking about how this loan forgiveness thing will pan out / if we're doing the right thing paying off as little as possible right now with the hope the loans will be forgiven is one of the major stress points of my life. Your descriptions of residency are pretty spot on, though - my wife said if she did it all over again she was just become a PA instead of an MD. Ridiculous hours, high stress, and poo poo pay all with laughably large loans hanging over your head the whole time (and she went to a state school, it could have been even worse). It's ridiculous.

So a doctor has to live like a grad student and put half their salary in to their debt repayments for five tears before it’s payed off and they can live like a king, so what? Doctors have money problems because they start spending like a staff right out of med school. The vast majority don’t have debt problems because they aren’t financially retarded.
