They already have plans in many states with underserved areas. Physicans and NP’s can get some of their education costs forgiven if they serve in these areas for a set number of years. Nurse P’s working independently can do so in some states, but the states can set their own Nurse Practice Acts. Physician Assistants may NOT work independently in any state. Not sure what you mean about unnecessary regulations. However, licensing regulations, and other medical issues should not be eliminated.

Americans know that the best prescriptions for their health care come from doctors—not government bureaucrats.
We need to roll back excessive government regulation to create a dynamic health care system that provides better access, lower costs, more innovation, and most importantly, greater freedom and quality in health care.
Some regulations governing our health care system are necessary for insuring safe and quality care.
But increasingly, health care regulations are business regulations: They dictate how health insurance and medical services can be bought and sold.
Indeed, government regulation of health care has extended far beyond basic safetystandards into near-total control of our health care system.
Regulations create winners and losers in our health care system, but also make our system more costly, less flexible, and less free.
