My country has a massive shortage of doctors. There's also a virtual cap to how much doctors can charge for consultation - most people, outside of a small minority of tech elite, can't afford to pay any higher fees. My wife's uncle's fees is already high enough that only the wealthy can afford him.

The problem doesn't seem to be sorting itself out. On the contrary, it's making access to people like him even harder for all but the top 1%.

If doctor salaries were to go even higher, it would mean that people like my maid would never ever get even half-decent medical care.

The solution would be to pay the maid more, but there's an oversupply of unskilled labor and any attempt to increase their wages would be thwarted by a flood of new labor supply.
