There are some schools which now offer combined BS/MD programs which cut up to two years off of the total education time. We should expand those.

Of the ones that do save time, most cut 1 year off not 2. And they do it by having students take more than a full time load during undergrad.
It’s essentially the same thing as taking an extra class or 2 every semester so you can finish undergrad in 3 years instead of 4.
I randomly sample 15 of the programs listed there and 14 were 8 year programs. Only 1 had an optional 7 year program (if you were willing to take more than full time load or go to school in summmer). And there were no 6 year programs.
