Canada lures US Docs

See, @Jolly, doctors prefer to work for government healthcare.
Except when it is obamacare.

Medicare cut reimbursement by about 4.5% for 2023. Add inflation, and it's a bit of a hit.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

For somebody that likes hard data, there's almost none in that piece.
I'll make your case for you...Mississippi has some of the lowest paid famiy practice guys in the country - $170K/yr. AFAIK, the Sconies are paying north of 200,000/yr.

Is Medicare run by the government?

@George-K @jolly @bachophile What do you guys think?
It makes sense to me. I would think that the US license procedure for doctors is about the best in the world. I would think that someone with a US doctor license should be able to practice anywhere.

I really don't know about the procedure being "best in the world."
However, the US has one of the most regressive and restrictive licensing policies on the planet. Each state has its own licensing board, and to practice in another state, you have to reapply, qualify for that state. That application process always includes multiple questionnaires, forms, requests for transcripts from medical (and earlier) education, and frequently, a written exam.
Having been very focused on one area of medicine, I doubt I could pass a licensing exam.

And it was already a low reimbursement to begin with.

I think if you've had a license within x number of years, it's all paperwork.

Low?
My family practice guy no longer gives all the geezer vaccines. He was losing $200/shot on one of them.

i did my fellowhsip in Canada and was able to get an educational license solely on my passing step 1 and 2 of the USMLE.
im not surprised some docs moving to canada, the system is easier to manage (all i hear is complaints about where managed care in the US is going, for working docs) so i guess if u can stand the cold, why not.
Australia and New Zealand beckon for doctors in more temperate climes

Did your license transfer to Isreal or did you have to do it again to work there?

@taiwan_girl I also took the Israel licensing exam but it’s basically ripped off from American tests. Same pool of questions.
