Unless you’re in Canada and there’s a doctor shortage and you can’t just shop around for a different family doctor if you don’t like your current one. If you’re lucky enough to even have a doctor here…
So I’m assuming you’re in Canada and don’t have experience with US healthcare… But we have the same issues here. Unless you’re extremely wealthy, you are very limited as to what doctor you can or can’t see based on your insurance plan which is almost always based on your employment.
There are wait times and you cannot “shop around” for a GP in the way you’re implying.
