Default Blame Canada, la la

my relatives in Canada travel to the U.S. to get an MRI (they don't have to wait 6 weeks for their "free" service).

So in Canada a medical doctor isn't free to open a private clinic and charge people for something as simple as an MRI? I guess I just assumed that socialized medicine in Canada was for citizens in general, but if you wanted to and could afford to, you could go to a private doctor.

If this is the case, I wonder what percentage of those who, once they become a doctor, instantly leave Canada to practice in the U.S.?
