Math is not exactly your strong suit, is it?


You don't read too well do you?

That's 27% fewer doctors per 10,0000 people compared to the US (referenced
to the US allocation, 37% fewer referenced to the Canadian allocation) . It
also means that the US has about 385 people per doctor while Canada has 526
people per doctor. A difference of 142 people per doctor seems pretty
significant.


It is significant until you read further and see that the US spends
approximately twice the amount of money per capita on its medical
services. If Canada spent an equivalent percentage of money, it would
have more doctors per capita that the US.

Guess you're not too bright either.

If medical care in the US is not better than Canada, why did one of your
country's leaders elect to have his heart surgery done in the US rather than
Canada? Why do Canadians who can afford it coming to the US for treatment
rather than enduring the waiting list in the equivalent care Canada?


Doesn't necessarily make US medical service better, just faster in
this case. Money usually does that.

If the US is so much better, then why hasn't he moved permanently to
the US. He can afford it. The answer is that there's many things he
likes better in Canada. Guess the US isn't perfect with everything eh?
