The training of US doctors is FAR more rigorous and expensive than anywhere else in the world.
Perhaps more expensive, but the more rigorous part isn't true. In any country with a high standard of care, the training almost certainly on par. For instance, in socialized France, which supposedly has the best care in the world, I'm sure that you will find the physician training at least as rigorous, if not more. They have a much more rigorous secondary school system compared to anywhere in North America, and so it follows that they likely wouldn't slack in the physician training department.
