I am in Quebec and here the state sets the rate for every single reimbursed act. Doctors can opt out of the public system, but then they can't take any reimbursement from it at all. It's all or nothing. Needless to say that the overwhelming majority of doctors opt to stay in the public system.
I assume it's similar in other provinces and therefore your premise is mostly wrong.
