Pure deregulation can lead to a bit of anarchy, but a more measured approach that ensures that the regulation doesn't act as a way to decrease supply and increase profits for the industry would make sense. Probably something for Lina Khan to look into.

The easiest way to increase the supply of physicians would be to increase Medicare funding for residency programs. We already have a surplus of smart and good people who would love to become doctors. Every year some of them graduate from medical school with an MD/DO degree but are unable to practice medicine because they don't get matched to a residency slot (some of them do get matched the following year).

There has already been deregulation to an extent. The scope of practice for lower licenses such as Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants has been increased in many states such that they are now allowed to perform most primary care services. This is a great option for other smart and good people who don't want to spend 3 - 7+ years in residency and take on enormous student loans.

> deregulate the medical personnel industry and allow supply to increase

And salaries to plummet.

Who's gonna be the first to volunteer to spend about 14 hours of their day in some shithole hospital nearly every day sacrificing their own health and sanity for the sake of others, all while making a fraction of what people here make? Deny people their prosperity and suddenly going to medical school turns into a stupid and irrational decision and something only rich people will put up with for the status.
