Health economist here.<p>This is a great piece top to bottom. There is no credible objection I'm aware of to any of the deregulation proposals included herein. The American Medical Association will object, because they don't want the competition because it will have a negative effect on its members' incomes.<p>If you think health care is too expensive in the US, the changes proposed herein are Job 1. There is no reason why Mexican, Canadian, British, Indian, German, ... doctors should not be allowed to come and practice in the US with more than some cursory verification that they actually attended a medical school where they are from. There is no reason for anyone in the US to be denied a slot at medical school (not a <i>particular</i> medical school, but <i>some</i> medical school in general).<p>One final note: please don't be fooled into have sympathy for the large debts doctors incur through medical school. This is not the population which is deserving of student debt relief. I'm happy to shorten their education, of course, but doctors are consistently among the very highest paid people in American society. Retiring even a million dollars in debt (much larger than any number in this article) is not that hard on a highly-paid specialists' salary, which can easily <i>average</i> half a million dollars per year.<p>The author of the piece has proposed to do further pieces on an "Abundance Agenda" for the US. Essentially this looks at ways to increase supply in things which are currently expensive but don't have to be. I haven't read other parts of it but I strongly recommended following him and looking further into the idea.
