Cleveland Clinic is a non-profit. Their total revenue is irrelevant. If you'd like them to spend an extra $200M on their residency program then they would have to spend less on other stuff. Take a look at their financial statements and then you can tell them exactly where they ought to cut back in order to fund your proposal. Please be specific.

That is my specific proposal. If they refuse to raise prices, grow the endowment by 200 million less per year and provide the same services. Essentially grow their stock portfolio a little more slowly. It is bad enough that a non-profit charges 20% more than the cost of their services. They would be fine if they were only making 18% more than their costs.
It is basicity the same as if Harvard college claimed it cant afford to train teachers aids while charging students more than enough to cover expenses and sitting on a 50 billion endowment that grows ever larger each year.
Observation that the lead/training time for additional hospital janitors is a couple weeks.
An additional resident takes 4+4=8 years.
I would argue that it is easier and more realistic to simply include it in the price than expect congress accurately predict future demand, and continually pass legislation to that effect. We dont need a congressional act to subsidize hospital janitors- Somehow hospitals figure out how to include them in their operational expenses because they need them.
Furthermore, it wouldnt break the bank of most of these hospitals. Take one of the largest teaching hospitals in the world, Cleveland clinic, with 2000 residents. at typical resident grant of 100k, that is 200 million. The Cleavland clinic annual revenue is >13 Billion.
