Default My son is a doctor so we have some insight on this

He would contend that the lack of good, plentiful docotrs in mostly due to the low number of spots available in Medical schools. We have an affirmative action system in this country which makes the Medical schools accept many applicants from other countries and other ethnicities. Some of these docs return to their native countries and the rest come to FL. LOL
The reason there are so few opppening in the Med Schools is that the AMA does not want an overabundance of docs splitting the pie. Since an doctor can get a huge amount of student loans money should not be the problem there. The place where money becomes a problem is that with the huge cuts in pay that doctors are being forced to take is making all that hard work less attractive. Medical school is really a tough row to hoe.
