We know how to replace doctors with nurses. It works well, in many cases.

It's really a political problem.

People don't seem to have enough motivation to politically fight to replace doctors with nurses, and doctors have a lot of power and motivation to keep their jobs.

And what about powerful actors from inside the system ? Hospitals, Insurers, etc ? In general, everyone gets a share of revenue. So why bother reducing that ?

Insurers and hospital would only love to keep inflating bills higher and higher, and high physician comp help to justify that.
