    It almost broke his heart when he almost lost me. Canada's loss was Texas' gain.

    Do you really believe that bullshit? He went to Texas to practice for two reasons. The MONEY, and to get out of that shithole! He didn't care about you, or any of his patients.

        Crazy, huh Sesh?

        I wonder why he didn't stay and help his patients, no matter what? It was easier to run? It was easier to bail on the patients he cared so much about?

        Or did he just want to go from a capped salary, to a an uncapped earning potential?

        Moving to the great State of Texas, in the greatest Country on earth, was just a bonus!

          He had a lot of money already, and he returned to Canada to head up a Cardiology centre here.

          Yeah, he did care about his patients, but there was fuck all he could do when the government wouldn't provide him the means, as in hospital beds.

          He also did a lot of pro bono work in the States.

                  No change, whatsoever. It was an addition. Heard through the grapevine he also experienced frustration with HMO's.

                  He could have fled a lot sooner. It's not about the money for everyone you know.

                      Yes, because being a United Health Care/Cigna/BlueCross/Bill Frist Kitty Killer HCA controlled doctor is such a better alternative.....

                            It's not a tax, according to YOUR guy...

                            Top Romney Advisor Eric Fehrnstrom: Romney Does Not Believe Health Care Mandate Is A Tax

                            After Chief Justice John Roberts handed down his ruling that the individual mandate requirement in the Affordable Care Act fell under Congress' power to tax, the question of whether Republicans were taking advantage of calling it a tax or insisting the ruling was wrong to call it that has continued into today, when senior Mitt Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom insisted the mandate, according to the candidate, was not a tax, and that he disagreed with the Court's ruling calling it such.


                            After Chief Justice John Roberts handed down his ruling that the individual mandate requirement in the Affordable Care Act fell under Congress’ power to tax, the question of whether Republicans were taking advantage of calling it a tax or insisting the ruling was wrong to call it that has continued into today, when senior Mitt Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom insisted the mandate, according to the candidate, was not a tax, and that he disagreed with the Court’s ruling calling it such.


                            On today’s Daily Rundown, host Chuck Todd asked the question with Romney’s mandate in Massachusetts rather than the national version of that, asking whether they called the fine a tax or a penalty when passed in the state. “Let me say that when the Supreme Court ruling came down last week… Governor Romney went before the cameras and said he disagreed with the ruling,” Fehrnstrom replied, arguing that “President Obama’s position is contradictory and unstable.” Todd asked again whether the penalty was talked about as a penalty or a tax, and Fehrnstrom explained that “what we did in Massachusetts works for Massachusetts” and was “never meant to be a one size fits all plan for the entire nation.”

                            Todd played a few clips of Romney calling the mandate a “tax penalty,” which was a confusing way of putting it for the purposes of this discussion. “What we put in place in Massachusetts is a penalty and [Romney] disagrees with the Court’s ruling that it is a tax,” Fehrnstrom concluded.

                            The statements, given that many Republicans reacted to the ruling claiming the penalty was a tax all along, adds another layer of complexity to the debate against both the health care ruling and the mandate particularly.
