RE: f it were true, Canada would be inundated with American doctors .... but alas, reality varies from the fictional spin. Several doctors in our local hospital are professional refugees from the Canadian Healthcare system. Just across the border
This report below is either true or false, but I find it to be opposite to what you said above. Maybe you can tell me what’s wrong here ( The article was written in 2010 <— during the advent of Obamacare ):

EXCERPT:
Since, Canada is facing shortage of medicos in the nation, so, Americas loss seems to be becoming Canadas gain.
Although, the number of US doctors leaving for Canada is growing significantly, the past few years has also seen a considerable decline in the number of doctors moving out of Canada.
As per the Canadian Institute for Health Information data for the last five years, the doctors immigrating to Canada is far greater than the number of doctors leaving Canada.
Way back in 1990s, Canada, too, had suffered a similar large scale exodus of doctors to America. This was largely due to several Canadian health reforms introduced by the Canadian government.
Doctors in the US feel that their immediate neighbor in the north is an attractive nation to live and work.
This is being attributed to US health reforms introduced by the US government. Moreover, Canada is an attractive place for several foreigner doctors including those from the US since it offers higher payouts to medicos.
