“And some countries are able to attract them from across borders”
Here in Silicon Valley, my first three GPs / family doctors over the past 45 years were native-born white males. Now all my doctors are immigrants and about 2/3 female. All of them are very competent and nice people. I sense more personal caring for patients from the immigrants, too.
England: 0
Primary/ General doctor annually
Eye M.D. annually
Female doctor annually

2 visits a year in America? How? In my only there is only one provider and one insurance option thanks to Obamacare. I tried to get to a doctor early in the year and the earliest they could get me in was 7 months. And for the “free” annual checkup the closest place accepting new patients was 3 hours away. There is a walk in clinic for stitching me up but if there is something you need for maintenance health care, forget it.
