I noted recently in a former face book "friend" post that the medical care in Canada was worst than in this country because "you can not find a doctor". I researched the issue and found the following. The number of doctors in the US is reported to be 2.4 docs per 1000 people while in Canada it is 2.0 docs per 1000 people. The average income for docs in the US is "almost double" that for docs in Canada, causing experienced doctors to move to the US to make more money. Doctors in Canada are younger with less experience and doctors from abroad. More recently it is noted that more docs are returning to Canada than going abroad. This info came from "google" on 3/15/13.
