And exactly WTF is wrong with minting more doctors to serve more needy patients? It's not as though there are a limited number of people who have the intelligence to become doctors. Hell, we're overproducing lawyers. If prospective law students see no job future, maybe they'll major in medicine. By your logic, we should training the exact same number of buggy-whip makers as we did in 1880 (i.e., the number of professionals in a field should remain stagnant and not adjust itself due to market forces).
