Some medical professionals find the US healthcare system to be unconscionable. Some would move, some wouldn't. My doctor parents were offered jobs in the US but they refused on moral grounds - forgoing a somewhat higher salary - preferring to stay in Canada.
The best outcome would be for them to move to the US, push down salaries (salaries in the US are something like 56% of all of healthcare spending) and that normalization would then stem the flow of foreign professionals while seriously benefitting Americans.
