    I'm 37, I'm not old!!

    Our doctors don't work for the province(s). It's not at all like NHS - they bill fee for service (which I think is like your medicare).

      That's what I thought but I talked to a doctor from Halifax who was under the impression that he got a salary from Nova Scotia. He's at Dalhousie.

        If he's at Dalhousie he's not likely to be a practicing physician — or so I'd have thought.

          There are a lot of health administrators employed by government - district health boards, etc. And they directly run a lot of programs in health promotion, addiction asistance, etc. I'd assume that's what your Dal dude does.

          But hospitals are almost always independent non-profits and doctors are almost always in fee-for-service arrangements with the government insurance scheme, which they can either run through hospitals, or through private, self-owned, free-standing clinics (if you pass a drug store that has a doctor on call, that's what's going on).

            Ask them about the death panels. When they try to explain that that's all a Republican myth, ask who's on the death panels and why people don't like talking about it.

            And what EIM said.

                      I wanted to check out the Italian place that AG mentioned, but alas.
