Nice try, buster. The medical profession is one of the most intensely regulated that exists. There is simply no opportunity to sell "best effort gallbladder removal by a student who took some years of medicine in Guatemala". You would be instantly jailed for a very long time.
Even if, overall, the availability of such a service would save much more lifes than the current situation. Americans painted themselves into a corner: they asked the state to guarantee the quality of medical services while allowing providers to run for profit. What you get is an out of control lobby spiral that optimizes for more regulation that makes it even harder to compete, pushing competitors out of the market and the prices and profits of the incumbents soaring.
