Yes - they're lobbying now to reverse caps they themselves[1] helped put into place, and like I said, have also limited primary care availability by lobbying against the ability of NPs and PAs to provided basic medical care. It's a complete bunch of talk until they get change done.
By the way, that expansion of 15000 residency positions barely puts a dent in the number of doctors we are lacking[2]. But yeah, a press release from 3 years ago really absolves them of guilt for sure.
