Ya mean they are rationing # of doctors while at the same time there are long patient waits?
Sounds like a Government Plan.

Another reason might be a FP makes $210,000 in Canada, a specialist $280,000
which doesn't include OVERHEAD or taxes.

FP would loose 4-6 years of income while they are paying for their education while
the specialist would lose 8 years of income while paying for education.

I'm sure they are waiting with baited breath to get into Med School.
