Medical Cartel vs Education Cartel

Medical student debt statistics

$156,456 – Average educational debt of indebted graduates of the class of 2009.

79 percent of graduates have debt of at least $100,000.
58 precent of graduates have debt of at least $150,000.

Medical education debt is driven by rising tuition.
AAMC data show that median private medical school tuition and fees increased by 50 percent (in real dollars) in the 20 years between 1984 and 2004.
