That's the way it works now I live in Germany. It's very cheap an easy to go to the doctor here, and they are keen to do tests that get them early warning problems. This is all a way of clawing money back from the compulsory roughly "Obamacare" style insurers.
But it was much worse when in the UK. The providers get funding for you, but once you are registered, it seems actual service is a pure cost to them. My GPs practice in London only allowed same day-appointments and only pretended to allow them over the phone.
My cousin there got sicker and sicker for months in because instead of testing her, they just gave her the wrong medicine. In the end she flew to Sri Lanka where she got tested, rediagnosed and operated on within 48 hours.

And let's not forget that your "NHS GP" is not employed by the NHS, but is employed by a private company that does work for the NHS. GPs are shit because of the fucking awful semi-privatisation they've been forced through.
