The website you linked above is quite literally rent-seeking for government funds to fund the residency requirements defined by the AMA.

Can you imagine if that website were for programmers?

"Waaaah we need more Staff Engineers at OpenAI but we just can't afford training them due to Congress not doling out enough for it, boo hoo".

Residency requirements are defined by ACGME. The AMA is a member of ACGME but ACGME operates independently. If you think that residency requirements should be changed then make a specific proposal instead of wasting our time with snarky, low-effort comments.

State medical boards are the entities which ultimately decide on physician licensing criteria.
