Is a confrontation likely between doctors and the province?

The doctors have agreed to no longer charge for ophtalmic drops and similar office expences.  But they draw the line when it comes to expensive scanner equipment.  Hospitals are not equiped to handle the demand from the general population.  Doctors are willing to purchase equipment providing that their fees reflect this major expense.  Procedures like vasectomies generally involved a fee from the patient.  To protest the situation, doctors are refusing to schedule some procedures.  Who will win?
