I think this was the very design of Obamacare aka socialism. Why should a doctor, who spent years studying and monetary investments, make more money than pot smokers who spend all day protesting and defecating?

It's all part of the plan. Eventually there will be a shortage of high caliber doctor students in medical school. Fewer of them will be able to afford top tier schools like Harvard, Hopkins and Stanford. I bet the plan is for Government Health to adopt a military service academy model whereby the graduates will receive free medical education in exchange for deployment for a period of about 10 years, into areas that need medical personnel.

The bad thing there is that would lead to less competent physicians generally through mandatory access to marginal students due to some specific personal characteristic.

Except you forgot the next step. Private doctors are obviously not able to handle things, so the government will provide the doctors. The goal wasn’t to have government INSURANCE - the goal is to have government HEALTHCARE. The insurance is just a step along the way.
