Sure they want more physicians. My husband was forced to leave medical school when he became sick (they wouldn't give him a medical leave of absence). No other medical school would touch him after that. They thought something was fishy, his transcript reads "medical leave of absence" which wasn't true. The other shcools can't figure out why the school he was in wouldn't take him back. If he wanted to retake the MCAT and apply cold, they told him he could do that.
Medicine is a self limiting profession. The AMA determines how many doctors are availabe to keep a limited resource, limited. Thus the $280/hour radiologist. You leave with close to $200,000 in debt if attending a private school. Primary care pays, in most regions, under $100,000/yr. When you have that kind of debt, lower paying primary care jobs aren't enticing. My bitter two cents.
