I thought it was strange as well, but there is also nothing in the act that says a doctor has to take you as a patient. Once you have a doctor all the others are too concerned about rocking the boat.
If someone doesn't get along with their doctor their only other choices are walk in clinics and hospitals. (Also sucking it up and dealing with your doctor is an option, but my wife didn't like that suggestion)
