Every states require the practicing physician to have an active license in the state you are working in. However, if you practice medicine in the VA, military bases, or other federal jurisdictions, you need not to have an active medical license of the state where the federal facility happen to be in.
For example, you can be licensed in Indiana and work for the VA hospital in San Diego. Active duty physicians are usually licensed in one state, but work anywhere around the world or any other states where their current assignment are. It makes sense for them because they move so frequently and it can take 6-12 months to apply for medical licenses.

No. In the U.S. the license to practice medicine is granted independently by each state. The degree "Doctor of Medicine" (M.D.) or "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" (D.O.) is granted by a college or university with an accredited medical school. Therefore, if a doctor loses his licence, loses his authorization to practice in that particular state, not his title or degree. The same thing would happen if an nurse lost his/her license. They would no longer be a registered nurse, but they would still have their degree (BSN, MSN, etc.)
