    Higher education problems collide with healthcare problems to create a gigantic mess that seems nearly impossible to fix. The public doesn’t care about academics, who are viewed as lazy people who barely do any “real work” for their salaries. The public isn’t voting in a direction for healthcare reform, either. Graduate students, professors, and teaching staff continue to be exploited. Corporate healthcare continues to dominate and interface with higher education at the medical school and the hospital. Public officials aren’t doing anything because nobody asks them to. I wonder when enough people will get concerned about this? Maybe when it’s too late?
