FUCKING THEY'RE THE ONES WHO CONTROL HOW MANY NEW DOCTORS THERE ARE!
Medical Residencies in the US are almost entirely federally funded through CMS and the VA, with the remainder being state matching with federal Medicaid funds. If Congress thinks there aren't enough doctors, they can fund more residencies: they are by far the limiting factor in the number of new doctors.
