When a medical student receives federal assistance through loans or grants, some may see it as an unfair advantage to have the first pick of where they practice after completing medical school. On the other hand, some people don't care...so long as the best talent is being put to good use. You can share your thoughts on this with the interviewers but remain positive and show your ability to see both sides of the coin.

"I believe that, because there is such a huge shortage of physicians in rural areas, students receiving federal assistance should do their part by practicing in these areas for a certain amount of time. I understand that this may seem unfair; however, there could be exceptions for certain rarer specialties or medical students with exceptional grades, for example."

You do not know the interview panel's views on this topic, so you want to tread lightly to avoid offending anyone. However, you are entitled to your opinion. Give your honest opinion without steering too heavily one way or the other.
