Another Possible Contributor to High American Healthcare Costs

Coincidentally there's a documentary aired on CBC (Candian Broadcasting Corporation) last night at 10:40pm: Public Health, Private Life

It's about daily routine of a cardiac surgeon and his family life. His life in the hospital and part of his work in OR saving lives of his patients, and how he spends time with his family.

There are facts printed on the screen showing facts collected by CBC. One of them is "On an average, surgeons in Canada make about 50% of surgeons in the US"

What impressed me most was right after that statement "On an average, surgeons in Canada make about 50% of surgeons in the US", he said "The reason he stays in Canada is not because of money, it's because he likes the healthcare system in Canada"

Shame on that American surgeon who performed thousands of unnecessary stents for money ! It's sick !
