And why is this? Outright looting by insurance companies. PNHP, quoting the Canadian Medical Journal:

TORONTO -- With the prospect of greater pay, fewer bureaucratic headaches and an opportunity to provide better care for patients, the number of American doctors migrating north is rising, according to Canadian recruiters and Canadian Medical Association data.

Susan Craig, president of the Toronto-based physician recruiter, Susan Craig Associates, said that Canada is becoming "increasingly attractive." Meanwhile John Philpott, the Halifax-based chief executive director of Can-Am Recruiting, noted "interest is doubling each year for American doctors" seeking to move north.

Increased pay is the main driver of this interest. Philpott said family physicians, pediatricians and psychiatrists can make $100,000 more in Canada, on average, compared to the U.S.

Article goes on to say that under Obamacare, some 30% of all billings never get paid at all, and the physicians are just out that money. Why is it that the Insurance Industry is not regulated, and can take and take from the public via premiums, co-pays and deductibles, and yet the health care providers go unpaid?

Meanwhile in Canada, only 5% of all billings end up unpaid.
