Ah, another "Brain Drain" article...

If you were a new DR. who was assigned to Tuktoyuktuk, you'd head to the USA too!

There is a physician shortage on both sides of the border, and you're not going to fix health care until you eliminate the shortage. Even with all the Canadian doctors coming over here, we still don't have enough.

The big difference is that the Canadians have a system that accentuates the problem by encouraging doctors to flee.

In the early- to mid-1980s, some government officials and researchers voiced concern about the increasing number of physicians in Canada and its potential cost implications.

These morons couldn't pass a basic economics course. When you have a larger supply of something, the price decreases.

I realize this doesn't quite apply with criminals and lawyers, who can make a unilateral decision to do business with a person, but going to a doctor is voluntary.

The guiding principle for public policy ought to be the same as it is for medicine: First, do no harm.

One need not wonder whether the politicians who are micromanaging Canada's medical services have ready access to medical care as needed. Eh? Too bad about the masses.
