Doctors saw what happened when every factory worker in the US was forced to compete with every factory worker in North America after NAFTA, and later the world. Unlike factory workers, no one's spent decades dismantling doctor unions and organizations, and they actually have the money and influence to resist attempts to break protectionist barriers. This just isn't going to happen.
Rapid, careless globalization was an interesting experiment, but it's left a lot of people with no hope for the future. Do we really want to repeat it?
