Yet again, the failures of socialist central planning, arranged by bureaucrats. They are oblivious to free-market signals as their incentives are not from that; instead they focus on job security by maintaining and expanding their fiefdoms.
If instead, left to the push-pull of supply and demand, there would not be "too many doctors." With central planning, there are no market signals for shortages or over-supply.
I remember reading a story about the Soviet Union and the foolishness of central planning. Bureaucrats in Moscow were to determine the price of tractors tires, as delivered to farms in Siberia thousands of miles away.
There was no way in hell that could be calculated other than by a free market. Multiply that failure by a zillion, for everything on the market from shampoo to fertilizer, and one will understand why socialism cannot last and will always end in collapse.
