Not to mention many medical practitioners' specialization is in things that the US federal government is actively working to undermine. I know a Nurse Practitioner who lives in the US and her focus is on women's health and contraception, and she is seriously considering a move to BC. Her husband is Canadian, so she has some ties here, but they were pretty happy down there until the last few years.
Obviously there isn't going to be some max exodus, but moving from the US to Canada is viable for some people, so we might as well make it easier and more attractive for them to move here.

The ideal situation is cross border work like all those healthcare workers in southern Ontario who live in Canada for the sweet quality of life but work in Buffalo or Detroit and get paid the big American salaries. Those folks are winning.
