No, it's because the AMA lobbies to protect American doctors' jobs, and refuses to license them to practice in the US. Of course you can still sue for medical malpractice regardless of citizenship. Trial lawyers have nothing to do with it, American doctors who don't want competition are entirely to blame.
My point, which I made poorly, is this: There's a reason doctors that went to medical school in India and trained as Radiologists in India can't read US cases remotely for a fraction of the cost of US trained and licensed radiologists.
It's not because the systems to read remotely don't exist.
It's not because they're poorly trained or bad doctors.
Itsty because they can't be sued.
