So you’re saying that increasing the number of doctors will result in more medical services being consumed which means higher costs for the gov?

That’s the view of the government?

Think of it like increasing lanes in a highway. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess%27s_paradox]

Or induced demand.

That said, likely individual medical outcomes would be better.

Large scale systems tend to produce… odd behaviors.
