The AMA does not have or approve medical schools. This is all done by the Federal Gov. Further, the Federal gov determines how many of what specialty of doctors are trained.

Is it possible that the AMA has closed schools and thereby limited the supply of U.S. trained physicians?

How about letting the ABA take over the AMA? What is wrong with more people studying the law? Only 60,000 new lawyers per year? The ABA needs to get out of the way and make the law degree available to everyone at the community college level. Don’t most top tier ABA school students take less than 20 courses in under three years anyway?

US law schools are graduating over 60,000 attorneys. What does this say about our country?
