What is the economic case for these places?

Obamacare will precipitate doctors, our highest paid workers on average, to set up shop offshore. Using Google Earth you can measure sea depth around the world. For hundreds of miles south of the Bahamas, north of Cuba, the Atlantic is very shallow, 5 feet deep in places. It's possible that new land could be dredged up there for a cost comparable to buying existing land. Land is cheaper to maintain than metal alternatives. This area is a 30 minute flight from Florida. So set up an airport, hospital, and military, hire some doctors, and Freeperland is in business. Someone like the Koch brothers could make this happen.
