I'm not 100% sure, I'd have to go look at healthcare systems of other countries and evaluate entrance requirements for people becoming doctors and then quality and outcomes of healthcare delivery to contrast against Canada's super strict entrance requirements and woefully inadequate doctors situation.
But I'm willing to bet......
you are undoubtedly going to get more instances like you note there but the overall outcomes is what needs evaluation.
If we require a doctor to give a prescription for stupid #### that shouldn't require a doctor to give you a prescription for because of this weird funding model for doctors trying to make money on prescriptions, then we need more doctors. If we want higher quality doctors, then loosen up prescription requirements and let people just buy their topical steroids or asthma inhalers at the store without the ridiculous run-around we have in place now. Like, we can't have it all ways, this really isn't that difficult. Watch wait times for doctors reduce dramatically if you adjust what prescriptions are needed for even just a little bit.
