The medical board can train and grant residencies, but they don't control how many actual-working-in-a-hospital residency slots are available, downstream of them.

(There are never enough.)

Anyone can fund it, just like anyone can fund filling in the potholes in front of my apartment. For some reason, though, until the government gets around to it, they aren't going to get filled.

No one fixes random potholes because they dont get paid to do it. If fixing potholes had a 500% profit margin as medicine does, people would start fixing them immediately.

Now, if "The American Fellowship of Pothole Fixers" claimed there was no money to fix potholes and only their coveted group of 300 pothole fixers are allowed to fix potholes, i'd call BS.
