Physicians move from The USA to Canada for better life

28. A lot of folks have supplemental insurance that covers deductibles, etc.

Plus, Medicare's Part B deductible is not that much.

Echos cost very little to run, and are over-utilized nowadays. They get paid if run for the proper reason. Heck, under Medicare you get paid when you file a claim, even if you didn't do one (although, you might get caught in a post-payment review for fraud).

Average salary of hospital employed OBGYNafter malpractice and other expenses, is $270,000. Hospital employed OBGYNs have coverage, little risk, hospital staff to run the administrative aspects of practice (which can be a headache if you are too cheap to hire trained staff), etc. Complaints aren't really justified.

Now if a doc wants to run his own practice, life can be a little tougher. But that is his/her choice. They still do well, and really shouldn't complain and lie by saying they are going to move to Canada where the will get paid more.
