Not that I'm fixated to this idea just a passing thought following this line of reasoning, but..

There might a world where if we lower the bar of medical school, it turns out at the end it results in fewer mistakes because of the increased supply.

A good bit of the required education for MDs is tangential to providing care. It may not even be a question of "lowering the bar" per se, but of streamlining the curriculum.

That said, you can accomplish a lot by leaving MD education alone and allowing the "technician" type health care workers like PAs and NPs to do more.
