The fact that doctors stand to make a lot of money is what draws a continual supply of the best and the brightest to the practice of medicine, and insures that medical schools can be very selective about whom they admit.
If doctoring becomes just another relatively modestly compensated job, the medical profession will be filled with only modestly capable people.

This is what I try and tell people- being a doctor will be just another government job- probably unionized, too. But here’s the kicker, that’s exactly what the government WANTS. They don’t care if half the doctors quit over this. In fact, if they are the best and brightest, they WANT them to quit so they can start replacing them with their brain-washed government toadie minions in white coats. Just like any takeover- get rid of those most apt and able to oppose or resist you and replace them with ‘your’ people.
this also serves a social purpose in going towards socialism. there are certain professions that have always been considered ‘elite’ and that attract the best and brightest. Can’t have that under socialism. Every profession will soon be just another job where no one can set themselves apart by talent or ambition.
Kinda like lawyers.
