Weiser, in reference to Canada says:
=================
And there certainly ARE government-employee doctors
=================

Yes there ARE. As there ARE in the USA. So what?

Weiser says:
==================
You need to learn the distinction between a union and an HMO. HMO
doctors can't strike because it's in their contract.
================

I know the distinction: the HMO is the management. Now, while I also
know that the USA is not particularly union-friendly, I also know that,
once a contract has expired, union members can withhold their services.
A strike by any other name... Which leaves the question: where is the
HMO going to find replacement doctors on short notice? Can't strike eh?
How little you understand collective power.

Weiser says:
==============
But, as soon as the new crop is trained, they become
available to the market.
===============

So, can we ever expect the supply of doctors to be such that the price
goes down? Not bloody likely, I'll venture.
