>Most of the rest of the world subsidizes student tuition so students dont pay much out of pocket.

And they also severely restrict who can attend university. Of course this is a non-starter in the current US political environment.

In my country the only restriction for university is that you have a highschool diploma.

Getting into the medical faculty is harder because the government does pay for everything and training doctors is expensive- for those the university picks the best and brightest.

The government also has programs in place to send out students to Harvard and MIT as the future elite of the nation.
