[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 701547, member: 8259"] I suppose that it was to much to ask for an answer to my questions. Interesting so your claim now is that if 250000 doctors stopped practicing medicine that 200 a year coming from Canada is somehow a good thing? Very strange indeed. In the real world if demand remains constant and you decrease supply it has a relationship to price. Can I get a guess as to what that relationship may be? In a Country like yours the government uses it's force to limit demand by creating long waits for the services your people need. A better system would be a free market. If you must have government involved you could demand that they limit barriers to the market. What I can say for the US is that a "wait time" here is a couple hours not several months. This is a primary reason that we have vastly superior health care. If the goal of our government was to reduce the costs for health care which it is not they would be looking for ways to reduce the fixed costs to provide the services (think tort reform), increase competition (think selling insurance across lines), decrease demand( think taxing health insurance), and increase supply(think something along the lines of allowing a PA to set up minor medical shops on their own). Sounds to me like the republican plans that have been blocked by the Dims. Meanwhile the dims want to increase taxes, provide penalties to people who have adequate insurance, and provide more barriers to the markets while driving out current providers. Sounds stupid to me kinda like your system. [/QUOTE]
