Correct..but pretty much any "medical supplier" requires a doctors note to provide services.
"blood testing labs" for example might want to blood test everyone in the country for everything imaginable..Without a doctors note they are prohibited from taking blood.
Doctors (effectively government employees) do control the gates.
Kickback schemes are possible (and have been uncovered), but this is a pretty big tangent to "over-treating those near death" isnt it?
Most "medial fraud" in canada tends to focus on "services charged but not rendered".
