So, in your thinking, the government of a city, county, or a state is
not government because only the federal government is government?

If the doctors who are trained at Cook County Hospital (Chicago) are
not being trained in government-run facility, then who is training
them?

No, I will accept that a state government can train doctors. but I was
talking about the Feds, when I complained that they didn't train doctors
in
any of their military facilities, or Army hospitals. And I was very
disturbed when they shut down these hospitals back in the 80's. How many
doctors are taught every year in the Cook County Hospital? And how does
the
AMA handle this? They can lobby state senators too, can't they? Is Chicago
a
special case?

Special case? Hardly. Medical schools are part of a university.
Many universities are state universities. Graduates of medical
schools go become interns in hospitals and then residents in a
teaching hospital. Many teaching hospitals are state or county
hospitals.

University, connected with a sky bridge to the VA hospital. There are
several other hospital adjacent to OHSU.
