> end the AMA licensure monopoly, making doctors more plentiful lowers prices and increases quality

I see how this would lower prices, but it's not clear how this would increase quality. Naively I would suspect it would, at least initially, lower average quality.

Medical professionals in general are stretched thin. They all have too many patients. More doctors each with fewer patients would lead to better quality.
