I don't see why they shouldn't fund more CS and STEM spots and universities in general. They will probably see a good return on investment. AFAIK higher education is subsidized in other countries but I'm not super knowledgeable about that.
On second thought maybe it would make sense to only subsidize the residency programs that are financially unsustainable but necessary, like family medicine or non-subspecialty internal medicine. Downside to this could be that hospitals could choose to not have residents and exacerbate the physician shortage.
