Personally I think a lot of the doctor shortage issue has to do with the government changing the taxation rules for doctors. They used to be able to operate individually as professional corporations but no longer. Their practices can operate as professional corporations but individually they have to file taxes as employees. Many doctors began reducing their office hours after that change, many veteran doctors just retired.

Doctor shortages are created by the state or medical association, unconscionable
Canada population is tiny compared to USA.
There is a doctor shortage in South Korea. Government mandated medical schools admit more students. Doctors are now on strike in South Korea.
