Why would the government want to? If you want to give charity for the good of your soul and mankind, you will do it without a gift from me. If you do it for a gift from me, then it isn't your charity, it is mine.<br/><br/>And if the American taxpayer decides to care about doctor shortages in the third world, they can best do it not by spending money sending you there, but by saving money by not extending special immigration visa's to the physicians who come here from the third world to milk medicare and medicaid while leaving their countrymen to eat dirt.

Say, $15K for each year of service.<br/><br/>I know I would. I wonder if more doctors fresh out of school would be willing to put in some time in third world nations in return for loan forgiveness?
