[QUOTE="klein, post: 701325, member: 23950"] Yeah, AV8, Your medical seats are all taken up, and thats why americans come here to get a medical degree. I guess , I answered both questions in 1 sentence, and the US is lucky, that we constribute so much to your medical workforce and education: Here is a piece of an article : [SIZE=3][B]The Canadian contribution to the US physician workforce[/B][/SIZE] We found that Canada contributed about 186 active, direct-patient care physicians to the US health care system annually . Americans who graduated from Canadian medical schools accounted for 14.2% (1161/8153) of these physicians. Nearly half (47.8%) of the Canadian-educated physicians in the United States graduated from 3 Canadian medical schools: McGill University, the University of Toronto and the University of Manitoba . Canadian-educated specialists who practised in direct patient care in the United States in 2006 represented nearly one-fifth (19.3%) of the Canadian specialist workforce and Canadian-educated primary care physicians who provided direct patient care represented 8.0% of the Canadian primary care workforce. more: [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1839794/[/URL] This is also very interessting, so your hardline anti-Canadian Healthcare can get some facts straight : [SIZE=3][B]Advice to U.S. from Canadian Doctors for Medicare[/B][/SIZE] [B]National doctors' organization tells Americans – after more than four decades of direct experience – that Canadians know Medicare works.[/B] Ottawa (25 Aug. 2009) - Canadian Doctors for Medicare (CDM) stepped into Canada's national health care debate in 2006 when a group of physicians and friends became concerned about the increased privatization in health care and the emergence of a two-tier health care system that would allow the wealthy to buy private insurance for private care at the expense of the vast majority of Canadians. Canadian Doctors for Medicare recently hosted a celebration of Medicare in Canada. Speakers included Roy Romanow, former Saskatchewan Premier and Commissioner on Health Care in Canada. This video has been prepared by CDM in the context of the current debate over health care in the United States. The video tells Americans, while reminding Canadians, that the Canadian universal health care works and it encourages Americans on behalf of the doctors who belong to CDM to follow Canada's example (now in operation for more than 40 years) by implementing a single payer universal health care system.
