I think the piece falls short. As always, there is a lot more to healthcare than just doctors...

Of course.
Licensure for other health-related fields is probably just as big boondoggle.
And don't get me started talking about the malpractice tail...
Florida is particularly strict, I've heard.
Lots of physicians retire there, and probably wouldn't mind putting in a few hours to stay useful and earn a little cash. The local doctors lobbied to make that damn near impossible.
California and Florida for me. No reciprocity.
Since the certification exams are nationally based, why not licensure?
Lab, X-ray, Pharmacists, RN's, LPN's, Respiratory, etc., all take certification exams.
the states' rights door swings both ways. Is there any other national licensure?

States rights is the issue and you see it everywhere.
Can state's rights be served by a Federal licensure? Interstate Commerce clause, perhaps?
There exists reciprocity for driver's licensure.
