It seems to me that Canada would be better served if we didn't encourage people to spend their money outside of the country.
We are starting to do it for a lot of things. MRI's are a perfect example, the province says that it will take x amount of months to get an MRI done but if you want to you can pay $800 to have one done right away by a private company. Why is that okay, but I am stuck with the same family doctor for as long as he feels like practicing.

You're not. It depends if other doctors are accepting patients - and due to a shortage they often times are not.
