One massive way to reduce healthcare costs is to remove caps from becoming a doctor; as long as you pass the tests and meet the requirements, why are we turning doctors away? So that existing doctors can be paid well above the market rate. There's a reason there's so many doctors in politics - it's very important for them to protect this business model.

Uh... politics is almost uniformly lawyers and business people.

Also tests are the table-stakes to being a doctor (like leet code and programming).

		Tests are table stakes but quotas are how they ensure there’s fewer doctors than is needed to meet demand to ensure doctors get paid large salaries. While you’re not wrong, there are far more doctors in politics at all levels (including influential fundraising) than engineers and teachers.
