Your solution is to use punitive tax rates on people so they'll lobby the people who actually decide how many slots there are?

Really?

It's industry trade organizations that limit the number of slots at medical schools and residencies. A punitive tax on the members of the organization that has artificially limited the number of practitioners seems perfectly targeted.

Why wouldn't they respond by raising prices until they always have free spots available?
