I think it's the over regulation of the industry that's causing the issues. A medical degree AND at least 1 year of residency are required to be licensed to practice, which is fine. But congress capped the amount of residency slots in 1997 due to fears of having to many doctors and hasn't raised it pretty much since. So yes, "big government regulation" and central planning aka communism has caused this issue. Those companies and individuals that are profiteering off of this situation are also to blame, but not nearly as much blame as the whole of congress.

This is a really sophomoric, conspiratorial, uninformed take. Doctors aren't the problem.

It's the for-profit engines of corporate hospitals, insurance, and big pharma.

I never said doctors were the problem, I said congress was the major cause of the problem by limiting the amount of residency slots based on incorrect predictions. Those for-profit engines do have an effect but they're just playing by the rules established by congress.

Not sure where you got conspiratorial or uninformed, here's the study that guided the decision making [1]. I will take sophomoric since I don't know a damn thing about this industry, but both left and right are recognizing the problem and trying to get something done about it which is what we need more of[2].
