Govt splurges on shiny new med school vs. simply expanding our 2 med schools. Why?

It doesn't make any sense, socially, financially, or otherwise. Yet they're doing it. Who benefits?

1. We need more doctors

2. Our 2 med schools are very busy

3. We want to encourage more primary care doctors

Let’s analyse these points.
