Also, many of your neurses are Canadians as well. Many years ago, the government in Ontario layed off a bunch of nurses, so the American hospitals came up here to recruit nurses to the States. Unfortunate, but over the past several years, nurses employment have been on the rise. Instead of keeping count on what was given to the patient re invoices, they do look after you well. They are great. My MS doctor is one of the finest in the world, and is world renowned, so we do have excellent doctors left in Canada.

As an independent entrepreneur, I do not have any health insurance however my wife, who is employed by the federal government, does. So, that is an advantage for me.

The cost of a university education, we shall say for doctors, is much, much cheaper here in Canada than stateside, and where people get peeved off is when these medical students, who have their education partially subsidized by the government (us), jump ship, and run to the States for more pay.

I say, if you are educated in this country, you have to spend at least 10 years in Canada doctoring before you can go stateside to work, at least. But we do live in a free and democratic country, and I guess there are no restrictions in place to keep people back. I suppose that is the difference between the Americas, and the other part of the world, that we shall not mention.
