I don’t believe there is any federal authority over the AMA (American Medical Association). Its a private organization. So the FedGov can’t abolish it. What states could do is stop letting the AMA tell them how many can be admitted to state medical schools.

You are on a roll Jim. All 7 points are right on. You also correctly identified deregulation in a modest form of the AMA, something that is critical to reduction of rising costs.
