Not requiring health insurance. Increased freedom of medical practice and education: Not allowing a monopoly of medical schools (the ACGME, which limits each medical school's allotment of incoming students). Not allowing regulations that require monopoly for internships ("the match," specifically protected by congress). Allowing freedom for competing schools of medical thought. Allowing med students to practice without first undergoing a regulatory hazing of slave labor.
No, I'm not a doctor nor a frustrated med student. But it's been a pet peeve of mine for a while. The medical profession has coagulated into a cat's hairball of tangled regulations over the years, effectively becoming a monopoly very similar to the NCAA or the NBA, led by the AMA, widely cited as the greatest-spending lobby over the last 5 decades.
The answer is simply to deregulate, and allow nutritionists, physical therapists, chiropractors and other "nonconventional" practitioners the right to practice their services without threat of "practicing medicine without a license," while also freeing up supplements and natural remedies, and removing the ability and requirement of doctors to be prescription gatekeepers for nearly all therapeutic drugs and supplements.
