Zombie Lie #912: ALL YOUR DOCTORS ARE BELONG TO US!

Remember all that talk about doctor's moving to America from Canada because of the horror of socialized / socialist medicine?  Yeah. Lie.
So when emigration “spiked,” 400-500 doctors were leaving Canada for the United States. There are more than 800,000 physicians in the U.S. right now, so I’m skeptical that every doctor knows one of those emigres. But I’d especially like you to pay attention to the yellow line, which is the net movement of doctors from Canada to the US.

In 2003, net emigration became net immigration. Let me say that again. More doctors were moving into Canada from the US than were moving out.
