    And the other side is also fucked up. I have a family member who has been a doctor in the US and Canada.

    In the US, each doctor had two full-time employees just working on that doctor’s billing. In Canada, his clinic of four doctors had one person working part-time doing the billing to our government health insurance.

      This needs context. Was his clinic in Canada understaffed, or did Canadian health insurance paperwork require considerably less time to process?

        His clinic in Canada didn’t need anything more than one person working half time to process all of its doctors’ paperwork to submit to the provincial health system.
