Sure, do that too if possible. But importing doctors from the EU and UK, and Canada means we don't have to spend resources training them - those countries do. And then we brain drain them to the superior place for them to earn like we do for engineers from India and China - and doctors for that matter who are willing to do more school here to get licensed.
The EU and UK, and Canada have created an artificial market that underpays their medical professionals. For instance, in Germany or the UK the typical physician salary is less than half that of an American doctor. Hell, entry level software engineers in America make more than a doctor in Germany!
Clearly the margin here is the USA's opportunity to outcompete them for the talent. We already take many of their best engineers, why not their doctors too?
