I know a couple who moved here from Canada who are both doctors. Their advise is to never get sick in Canada. Their worst nightmare is national health care here, as they’re running out of places to move to.

This is what happens to a great deal of Canadian MDs who choose to leave Canada for the greater opportunities in the US. When I try to explain this to Americans, as an example of medical care being a ‘right’ but not being available, I usually get looks of confusion from my listener. The thought simply does not cross many minds that the availability of any kind of madical staff is not a static and given number.

PS: It is usually the native-born Canadians who move to the States, requiring Canada to import yet more foreign doctors.
