Last year more doctors came back to Canada from the USA than went there. The 3 main reasons for going have always been to further education , research opportunities and more money . The more money part being doctors in the US make double what doctors in Canada make . One would think money would keep Canadian doctors in the states but apparently there are now stronger reasons for leaving than staying for the money .
Just wondering whose system is really broken ?
Even though we are very critical of our system why do 88% of Canadians rate their system the best ? After all , I'm thinking that they have used it , they should know whether it works or not.. Were those who would call it madness , never have .
For the first time in 30 years there was a net re- migration of Canadian trained doctors to Canada by a couple hundred? So what? You still have a terrible problem with not enough specialists and GPs and available technology. Hospitals on the US side of the border still see hundreds of Canadians every month.
Lack of enough diagnostic equipment, lengthy wait times for surgeries, etc. will not be fixed until you privatize your health care delivery system further.
