Just what I say to my kids. University isn't a given. Go if you want, don't if you don't. My eldest entered a convent, my second is going to university part-time while working, my third is planning on entering the military. That's as far as we've gotten so far.

Word your opinions better. In reference to health care, you're not entitled to another person's labor. But I agree that someone who works full time should be able to afford health care.

If you go into the medical profession then you've become a public servant. Your entire job is to keep the human race from dying. Not just those with money.

Except you don't become a public servant. Health care is not synonymous with government. "Public servants" are involved in "public service", which is things to do with government.

Doesn't matter. You're a ****ing doctor. There's a reason they take Hippocratic oaths. Cause they know they're so important that they should swear to do no harm even though it's not even legally binding.

It does matter. Equating the seriousness of the profession with it being de facto government work is an embarrassing example of thinking with your feels.

Compensation, yes. Health care isn't salary.
