Residencies are funded via Medicare. If you want more doctors, you need to convince Congress to fund those spots. Or, convince the industry to fund the slots itself, without the reliance on Uncle Sam's largess.

On Medicare's time horizon, losing money funding those residencies for 10-20 years actually could be a great deal if it bends the cost curve.
