We weren't there and don't know the full situation. Do you really take chances with the America's #1 most wanted that's been hiding for 10 years while executing more events of terror? I'm not going to question that decision.

Obviously, I have no qualms about him being dead and our murdering him given the volume of evidence against him, but fact is: we killed him instead of capturing him despite the fact that he was unarmed
Not that they wouldn't have anyway, but it's not like there wasn't a firefight prior to his death. I can't imagine it wasn't chaotic.

Also, that it takes more schooling, training, and cost to become a doctor than almost anything else in the united states. You take away doctors being one of the highest paying professions in this country and neither of the aforementioned will be the case, which is absolutely not a good thing. Costs are too high for a bevy of reasons, the vast majority of which are not because doctors themselves are overpaid. My future brother in law is in medical school at Penn and I can assure you that whatever he ends up making he'll have rightly and fully earned through the time, effort, sacrifice, and fiscal burden he's gone through to become one.
True, the doctors aren't the biggest problem, the hospitals are. First order of business would be to get hospital bills brought down to reasonable and affordable levels and then look at the doctors themselves.
I'm glad we shot Bin Laden. I have no problems whatsoever with police, military, or even citizens killing deadly criminals.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

There was a 40 minute firefight. Osama had 40 minutes to surrender. Plus, he must have thought about this possibility long before now. I don't care whether he was armed or not. He knew what he was doing and had his chance.
Had we just dropped a Tomahawk missile on him and killed him while he was sleeping, would people complain about that? I don't think so.

We should've killed Bin Laden and tied his bloody carcass to a chariot and dragged his body through the dirt in front of an Al Qaeda stronghold in Afghanistan.

Ah yes, the dignified death of Hector at the hands of Achilles, or so the story goes.
I find it really strange how transparent the government is being. Obama campaigned on that, but his administration has been far from transparent up until now and this is information that you'd expect to be the most classified. Why?

Better to be transparent now and avoid conspiracy theories later, I guess.
