I've never heard that about Canadian doctors - they do have a max. but they can continue earning at a lesser percentage (I believe) They are starting to charge for little things now, like signing passports and renewing prescriptions over the phone.

I did forget to mention that refugees and welfare recipients receive full coverage including prescriptions and dental. More than the working poor can get. - And the majority do not want our system to change.

I don't really know how the max salary limits work for Canadian doctors. But the last three cruises I've taken have had Canadian doctors. They've all said that Canadian doctors who don't have kids in school are attracted to cruise lines.
They get free passage for themselves and their wives, and they get more value than they could by working in Canada. It's a good deal for the doctors and the cruise lines. I'm not so sure how I'd like being a Canadian patient whose doctor was unavailable for 2-3 months.
