[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because the AMA caps seats in medical schools and residencies. Only 30% of docs are members but they control the industry like any cartel.[/quote] I do not believe this is true. My understanding is that it’s the lack of residency slots that limits the number of doctors and I do not believe the AMA has anything to do with the # of residency slots because I believe they are supported by federal government funding. I’ve seen this discussed many places but here’s one example: https://www.quora.com/Why-does-the-AMA-American-Medical-Association-limit-the-number-of-medical-school-admissions#:~:text=The%20American%20Medical%20Association%20(AMA,directly%20limit%20medical%20school%20admissions.[/quote] See also: https://www.aamc.org/news/medical-school-enrollments-grow-residency-slots-haven-t-kept-pace[/quote]
