I have no idea about Canada and I have no actual facts to back me up (so it sounds like I would fit right in with this Booju community =P) BUT I DO have friends in med school and vaguely remembering reading in a few places (washingtonpost.com comes to mind) that with the rate that malpractice insurance is going up, being a doctor isn't all that lucrative anymore. (Except for plastic surgery, which apparently is booming.)
So, really, if the gov. covered malpractice stuff, it might be even more incentive to go into medicine.
AS I SAID, though, I have no facts to back this up. So nobody yell at me. I'll cry. ;)
Also are people complaining that if we go to socialized health care they'll have to wait? Because I waited one hour and thirty-f-ing-two minutes last time I went to see my doctor. Granted, she's a f-ing moron, but still...that's outrageous.
