Our medical licensing system isn’t “indentured servitude” in the long run. It is convoluted precisely to benefit medical practitioners by artificially decreasing the supply of labor and reducing competition. Medical organizations largely want our med school and residency status quo to remain. Only recently, after bizarrely warning of an impending doctor surplus in the 90’s, have they stopped lobbying against increases in the number of residency positions.
