Stop making students take worthless filler courses to round out the over head for the school.You two both nailed it.
From what I have seen most doctors just want to help people. They don't want to be entrepreneurs, accountants, etc. Just fix people.
So they become employees. THEY give up the ability to control the practice of medicine in order to focus on medicine. So the medical industry comes in and runs them, and us.
Let us also not forget about insurance. While not blaming the insurance companies we have become too reliant upon needing them to get health care.
Nor let us forget the massive cost of attending medical school. I am not a socialist nor communist, but I do think it would be an interesting experiment to simply give 1,000 graduating medical students a year the entire cost of their student loan debts forgiven. Imagine what some of them might do with their skills were they not driven to seek maximum returns in order to pay off massive debts? I don't know, but it would be interesting to study the impact.
