Just because you educate more doctors doesn't mean they are going to be where the people in need of care are located. They will respond to the economic incentives that are in place, & they will go where they can make the most money (& why not? It's what we all do.). So you end up with more doctors in the rich suburbs, performing more & more possibly unnecessary procedures on the population that's already receiving health care.
Actually, my whole day yesterday was an adventure in exactly that kind of doctoring. I will try to write it up today.
