I am a doctor and I run a graduate medical education program. The constraining resource is generally funding, not limits imposed by ACGME. For example, my program is ACGME-approved for two trainees per year, but we have funding for one.

Why is the government paying for graduate education? I paid for my own graduate education.

The costs would be utterly extortionate otherwise.

Who decides the funding?

Funding is mostly controlled by the federal government, via Medicare and Medicaid, and if I am not mistaken the funding levels are set by Congress.
