Same with Canadian doctors.
When ever I have talked with Canadian Doctors coming down here to
practice it is not because the system is bad it is because they want
to make more money and live on par with their American
colleagues. (I am not sure if anyone has ever done a survey to see
what the average income is from a doctor) But when I lived in WI the
starting wage for a PA was over $120,000 - The Clinic in the big town
established $200,000 as a starting wage for new Doctors coming into it.
Yes I know they have student loans to pay off but so does anyone else
who does grad school (Which med school is the equivalent of.)
I had to do 4 years of grad school and my starting wage was $12,000

Cuba has some of the best baseball teams and players as well, but
just because they are some of the best does not mean that they will
not try to leave for the United States where they can make a lot of
money and live far higher on the hog, so to speak.
Please do not attempt to make the case that because some Cuban
doctors want to leave that island that it somehow implies that the
Cuban medical system is some giant dysfunctional mess and a failure.
Wealthy Americans routinely seek to move their assets offshore, out of
the country, but that does not mean that the financial system of the
United States is some abysmal failure.
