An amazingly high portion of Canadians don't have a family doctor <https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/despite-more-doctors-many-cana...>. In Atlantic Canada (the four easternmost provinces) it is impossible, repeat impossible, to get a family doctor if you don't have one <https://web.archive.org/web/20190226051406/https://www.thete...>. It's one thing to have shortages in rural areas—that happens in the US too—but Halifax?!? I've heard the same occurs in Vancouver too.

I am confused. Vancouver is on the West Coast of Canada while your statement is about "four eastermost provinces". Is it then a nation-wide problem?

I've seen news articles discussing the issue occurring in Atlantic Canada, and have been told that it is also an issue in Vancouver. I do not know about elsewhere.
