Those competitive jobs will likely to go to the better-credentialed people anyway, regardless of debt status.

On the other hand, perhaps some great minds choose to go into medicine rather than banking, or more important but lower-paying medical disciplines, because they know they won't be graduating with crippling debt. That seems like a big win.

This. Specialties that have a high quality of life but are often impossibly underpaid relative to the student loan debt burden (eg Family Medicine / Rural Medicine) should see a boost in residency candidates.
