Thank you very much. What if.... But it is as we see it.... Such monies would take other paths rather than build more doctors.
Thank you

I know.
.... What if?
In Canada we lose Doctors to the USA and then lament the shortage. Our wages are good but theirs are better.
In some parts of Canada (like Sasatchewan) they make Doctors sign a service agreement to local communities when they start medical school. They pay significant fees to go to school but all of those fees are refunded one they perform a number of years working in the province. In fact the "work in province" is compulsory for acceptance for a number of years (4 I think but I don't live there). It's not a perfect solution but better than nothing.
