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.)
