The number of doctors is primarily limited by the amount of federal government funding for residency slots.

Hospitals have billions of dollars of net income...they could very easily invest in residency slots.

Only to the extent that they can lobby Congress like anyone else. I don't think the AMA has done any lobbying lately against expanding residency funding.
