Besides, the 4,000 Canadian doctors and 6,000 nurses who've come here to
practice in the last ten years, plus the mandated 20% reduction in the
number of doctors graduating from medical schools, may well insure that an
increasing number, who would rather be bankrupt and alive, will come to

eligible to leave.

Demonstrating yet another outcome of all socialist schemes - they lead
to some form of slavery. Why not just let the students pay their own

no theft, no slavery, and no mob rule.
