The difference is that, in Canada, there's only one government playing

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.

The amount of paperwork says much the same regardless of the number of
providers. Doctors have to compile the same records and it makes not a whit
who the payor is.

Many doctors who move to Canada do so
because they are tired of paperwork and would much rather spend more
time treating patients.

Unless the doctors are also performing office functions, that statement is
bogus. As mentioned, they have the same amount of documentation to create in
any case, unless they don't document their work. That's highly
unprofessional.

Some doctors are more than willing to trade a
slightly lower salary for this quality of life increase.

In that case all they have to do is not accept ANY insurance carriers and
they can do that right here, right now. AAMOF, some already DO just that.
