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.

Do you have any references to support your contention that there is a system forcing medical schools to accept foreign applicants and other "ethnicities" whatever that might mean? What are the huge pay cuts you believe primary care or any doctors have taken? Do you have data? By what mechanism does the AMA, in your research, manage to keep new medical schools from opening?
