> it's a simplification to point out that there aren't as many doctors, without noting all the other doctor-esque roles with significant overlap.

Comparing the number of doctors in the US to other countries is not a good measure of anything. But noting that americans spend more per capita and get worse health outcomes is pretty significant.

I'm definitely not trying to make any greater point, only that the 25 vs 50/10k is not a meaningful measure of healthcare quality or capacity.
