Overall health costs would increase with more doctors as they won't work for free. The idea that salaries will drop with more doctors is not valid. Supply and demand does not work when government sets maximum fees. The only way salaries would drop would be if we somehow ended up with too many doctors that they couldn't meet the maximum billings.
But I'm not arguing that total national health care costs should decrease if we have more doctors. We would end up with more health care, in which case aggregate costs might not decrease.
