FinTech

Pundits worry about the chilling effect that medical school debt -- which approaches $200,000, according to the AAMC -- has on our future physician workforce.  If so, I'm wondering if health care should take a page out of a tactic being used for pro athletes: allow investors to buy shares of physicians' future income...To be honest, I'm not even really all that interested in securitizing physicians' incomes, even for those (relatively) poor primary care physicians.  Complaints about incomes aside, most physicians do quite well financially and, of course, much better than in most other countries.  What I'm interested in is having the data on physicians that such an approach would require.
