Medical Council of Canada Claims Doctors Leaving U.S. Due to Trump’s Policies
Breitbart ^ | 05/29/2025 | Sean Moran

The Medical Council of Canada has claimed that American doctors are now fleeing in droves due to Trump administration policies.

NPR wrote:

The Medical Council of Canada said in an email statement that the number of American doctors creating accounts on physiciansapply.ca, which is “typically the first step” to being licensed in Canada, has increased more than 750% over the past seven months compared with the same time period last year — from 71 applicants to 615. Separately, medical licensing organizations in Canada’s most populous provinces reported a rise in Americans either applying for or receiving Canadian licenses, with at least some doctors disclosing they were moving specifically because of Trump.

“The doctors that we are talking to are embarrassed to say they’re Americans,” said John Philpott, the CEO of CanAm Physician Recruiting, which recruits doctors to Canada.

“They state that right out of the gate: ‘I have to leave this country. It is not what it used to be,'” Philpott said.

We didn’t want them, anyway.

How many actually became Canadian citizens, Canada? My guess is the answer is “None.”

It was and is all about OBAMACARE and the way the government reimburses. Of course, they will blame Trump.

100%. Obamacare has essentially ruined American medicine.

This is 100% unbelievable. The Canadian medical system is a big league disaster. The waiting times, the equipment and the deaths from delayed treatment are staggering even by the currently debased USA standards. Maybe these docs are going over to help with euthanasia backlog.

Will be a hell of a lot of competition among all those Trans-butcher doctors.

Yes, socialized medicine is great isn’t it? Doctors don’t make as much, but don’t have to work as much either as treatments are optional with the government determining them.

I call BS. Doctors in Canada work for the government and make far less than doctors in the USA...

I bet most people here on FR don’t realize just how stunningly bad Canadian healthcare is.

It is almost 3rd world. Beware if you have a serious issue, you’ll be put on a waiting list to die...

OK Canada, you have an increase in American bloodsuckers. That will only fork up your already shameful medical system.
But knowing eastern Canadian, that should make you proud.

I live in Canada and there is no way any rational person would leave the USA to make substantially less in the various provincial health systems.

We also have a real crisis right now finding general doctors as the pay is just not worth the trouble of running a doctor office. A fair number of Canadians do not have a family doctor and must go to various health clinics to get treated.

What a joke this article is. It was under Biden that doctors where getting charged with not following government medical propaganda.

Between the abortionists and the obsessed tranny surgeons, no genitals in Canada will be safe.

Probably illegal emigrant, or foreign doctor that has overstayed their visa.

Bye, bye, you pathetic losers. Running to a country that euthanizes you if you have a cold is where you belong.
