Its often easier to afford the life they want if they take a position with higher pay.

It isn't the only factor, though. You're going to have a harder time getting doctors in Kapuskasing or Sioux Lookout than Toronto no matter what you pay them.

Doctors are people. People value more than just money. If you start paying doctors more they are likely to work less, so that they can spend more time with their families.

I'd concede that this is less true for doctors near the beginning of their careers that have: student debt to pay down, mortgage down payments to save for, and fewer kids (in aggregate).

But if you want to know how to attract that sort of doctor, you shouldn't be surveying doctors, you should be surveying 3rd & 4th year med students.
