Lack of doctors in small town areas is a huge problem in Canada. Furthermore, many of the existing small-town doctors are close to retirement, and new ones are generally not coming to replace them.
That is why there is a big controversy now over "private" health clinics where people can pay extra money to get better access to doctors.
