All of the regulations in the world will not make more "supply" than there is "demand."
Wherever the "supply" side of a service industry (and medical care is personal service) is regulated as to access to it, the compensation received by the provider, and quantum of service to be received, the result is fewer people want to become service-providers and the quality of the service providers deteriorates ("just ain't worth the money for the cost to get qualified").
"Regulating" any industry is a delicate balancing act - insuring the public access to the service while insuring availability of quality service.
