Complete deregulation of the medical industry might do the trick.
There is too much of a bottleneck in training new medical providers.
Doubtful that would ever happen within our borders.
(However, unlicensed practices may start popping up in places like Belize and Costa Rica to deal with overflow.)
MOO-
Much of the medical "supply" problem might be solved by increasing participation of NPs and PAs in roles which have been traditionally filled by MDs/DOs.
A new pattern may emerge where MDs/DOs effectively become administrators over ever-larger staffs of NPs/PAs.
