The difference is that, in Canada, there's only one government playing the
medical game (per province) whereas in the U.S., a doctor doesn't have to
honor the "low ball" insurance.


The plus side: since doctors in Canada have to deal with only one
insurer, there is _significantly_ less administrative overhead
involved in treating patients. Many doctors who move to Canada do so
because they are tired of paperwork and would much rather spend more
time treating patients. Some doctors are more than willing to trade a
slightly lower salary for this quality of life increase.
