You know what the biggest cause of surgical/colonoscopy waitlists are? A lack of procedure/operating room time, not a lack of surgeons. If the surgeons could, they'd operate a hell of alot more with their time but they are handcuffed by only having access to the OR 1-2 days a week, and limits on how long a nurse/support staff can work (ie. Union workers).

Our society is spending money to train health care workers only to lose them to better opportunities in other countries. It's a massive problem and one I would prioritize over everything else.
It's not hard to build buildings and buy equipment. It is hard to retain talent and especially hard when you can't even keep the talent you train yourself.
