I think this is a very complex question. If you are talking about private universities/hospitals, no one can tell them what do to. When it comes to public hospitals/universities, well, personally I would want the best doctor possible, though I agree that communication with me and other hospital staff is vital.
To focus in on the question in the poll, as long as the person is able to speak well enough to sufficiently communicate or always has a qualified translator available when necessary, my answer is no.
