Druids are still quite good healers, but not nearly as efficient as Clerics, and Bards are even worse. There is definitely going to be a lack of healing support in your setting, unless Druids are more common than normal. (Then of course the question also applies to the PC group alone, but I understand you're asking for world-level implications).In short, no Clerics = less magic healing around. At this point the DM has to choose whether she want the relative lack of magic healing as a setting feature (in which case, the Wizards can stay the same), or if she wants to make up for it. In the latter case, don't care at all about the RAW and for example just add certain healing spells to the W/S list (if you want them available on a large scale), or allow Extra Spell to work outside the class list (if you want them available on a small scale).edit: otherwise you could even consider to make some non-core classes such as the Healer or the Favored Soul part of the setting</blockquote>
