There's 1.1 million physicians in the US, and about 12.8 million worldwide. Almost all of whom are making substantially lower salaries than their American counterparts. Many more than 50% lower. Even if 10% were willing to immigrate for a huge wage boost we could replace every doctor in America multiple times over.

Let other countries have their doctors and train doctors in your own country is the proper and moral solution.
