Not quite that easy but I agree in general. I would have to add:

  • cap school costs to a % of expected income
  • continue to pay pharmacists more than techs to incentivize the lost years of wages for school, but decrease how dramatic that pay difference is
  • All jobs should pay a living wage as a minimum. Those with a bit more responsibility for people's lives should also come with an incentive for the increased difficulty, so pay the techs a bit more than the minimum, or no one would want to do it.

Techs do currently make (barely) a living wage in my county. But by that I mean the living wage on MIT living wage calculator, which is BARELY enough to get by. No vacations or any frills. Just not getting further behind every month.

^This is how we treat people who do the labor of making sure the right prescription medications are put into the right bottles so that the general public can efficiently access the incredible variety of modern prescription drugs necessary to maintain a high standard of healthcare in the community?

What the fuck
