I suggest you do a little research before you blindingly jump on
Nuttle's incorrect bandwagon.

The current number of physicians per people in Canada is NOT
significantly different. Despite spending more per capita, the U.S.
does not deliver better medical care than many other countries.

26 Number of physicians per 10,000 people in the United States
19 Number of physicians per 10,000 people in Canada

So the US has 37% MORE doctors per capita than Canada! Sounds pretty
significant.
