Subject: RE: BS: US Health Care Reform
I should add ... Since New Brunswick pays a considerable high salary to it's physicians, than the rest of Canada ... it still has a difficult time attracting doctors ... reason being, there are stringent bureaucratic policies controlling what a doctor can, and cannot do.

The wage freeze imposed on physician's salaries is for 5 years

I know this since a good friend of mine is a pathologist. He's a rarity since he came here from the U.S. ... he makes less, puts up with the bureaucracy, but likes our health care system ... he could make more in the U.S. but likes the trade off here much more.
