Will US Health Reform be Bad for Canada?

An article in the (Canadian) National Post worries that Obama’s health proposal will lure doctors from Canada.  After Massachusetts passed its universal mandate, it found that it didn’t have enough physicians to meet the demand. Higher pay in the United States might entice Canadian physicians to travel South in search of better compensation or working conditions.  The United States already relies on foreign-trained physicians for one-quarter of its residency slots.
