The AMA intentionally limits the amount of doctors that can practice. If there is an intractable shortage it’s because 25% of the current practicing doctors like things the way they are.

Healthcare is already melting down, for patients.

Looks like this is not entirely true. Looks like Congress simply created bad regulations limiting the funding for residencies in the US. A simple formula could have been created to determine residency funded limits instead of a simple hard cap.

How many people have the talent to become doctors, but decided against it because of the working conditions? Limit the working week to 40 hours (including during training), and you won't need such extreme wages.

Also, make higher education less insanely expensive where a Dr just starting out is several hundred thousands in debt.

No limits. Take away rules, dont add rules.

Do you mean PPP? Prices tend to be lower in the US (outside of Healthcare anyway...) so if anything I would expect adjusting for PPP to make the difference starker.
