Don't they have to back these gigantic loans? That might deter people from going to medical school out of fear they're not gonna have what it takes and drop out halfway with huge debt.

Very few people make it into med school who can’t make through.

Also the bottleneck is residency slots, so even if this is the case, it wouldn’t change anything.
