alt Hacker Newswe also could just stop having the federal government limit the number of residency slots so we could have enough doctors trained in the US.

Good luck getting the federal government to stop doing what the unio..., I mean, what the American Medical Association and representatives of the nation's medical schools ask for.

Not just residency. Fix the cost (and capacity) of the education system as a whole, especially for mid-levels. There’s no reason this country should have such a chronic NP shortage, and you don’t need MD/DOs for most of the healthcare gaps we have.
You also make rural care viable when you don’t have folks who need to pay off astronomical loans.
And by not limit you mean fund. And I agree.
