Free doctor training

Canada has a major problem where we do not have enough doctors. My understanding of this is that it costs more than 100K to train to be a doctor, and this is way out of reach for most people.
The solution then is simple, make Doctor education courses free. Let the government pay all those bills. In 7 years the doctor crisis will be over.

Make it a sliding scale:

pay all/most for "best" candidates, down to nothing for anyone with an undergrad GPA < B.

Do similarly for teachers.
...and, if they don't complete it, they have to pay it all back.

And if they only work n < N_{desired} years, then they should have to pay back

(N_{desired} - n)/N_{desired}

or

1 - (n/N_{desired})

of the cost.
