...And the ability to charge a princely sum for services rendered, not just the amount set by a group of bureaucrats in Ottawa, which is a big deal. Call it an uber-HMO. Nothing has happened recently to change this, so it isn't like I'm stating new news, but anecdotal evidence among my own extended family as well as statistics I saw years ago during now-Senator Clinon's failed attempt to essentially duplicate Canada's system down here back up my statement. Anyway, it's neither here nor there with regard to this post. :) ]]>

Why are the Canadian doctors heading for the states? Nothing here but high malpractice insurance, HMOs and no prescription drug coverage. ]]>

True that. Last time I checked (just now, oddly enough [wink]), a dollar would get you .86 euros, while a loonie will only get you 74 cents US. Still, it seemed a little out of nowhere in a discussion about music, no? By the way, the sports teams are high-profile, but it's the doctors running for the border that hurt Canada more. :) ]]>

The US Dollar isn't nearly as weak against the Euro as the Canadian dollar is against the US Dollar. Canadians have more important things to worry about than the influx of Americans looking for good shopping deals on the weekends. :) Yeah, like which professional sports team is going to make a run for the border. =^) ]]>

And every American artist should be singing "Whydya have to go and make my currency so weak against the Euro?" Canadians have more important things to worry about than the influx of Americans looking for good shopping deals on the weekends. :) ]]>
