Wow.
Just wow. How many inacuraccies can a man cram into a single lecture? Shot trying to reach Beverly Hills. Wow.
I think this has been mentioned before, but I work in the healthcare industry here in the US (more or less), and it is hard to find a for-profit hospital. All of our clients are not-for-profit, and every hospital I could think of (including the hospital in my somewhat podunk hometown) were non-profits. (And Marquette General Hospital has an MRI facility and at least one neurosurgeon, for a population of about 22,000.)
Also, to refuse care is illegal - we lost a client or two because of all the money they spent on charity cases. Long-term care can be a problem, but even the uninsured will be treated when they arrive.
That aside, I think the apprenticeship system is sound, and I'm sorry to hear the Ministry of Education doesn't like it. For my job (systems administrator), I learned more of my skills working on-the-job throughout college than I did in class, as good as the classes were.
