#1 They still have too many doctors? Even after the self-immolations at the Scottish airport and all? Hand out some more gas and maybe some others will use it to leave for P'stan (or burn up trying).

#2 We need those Aussie doctors here in Australia. Especially in the rural areas.

#3 Doctors from India, South Africa and other Commonwealth countries are to be barred from the NHS in an attempt to preserve health service jobs for British graduates. For generations the health service has been sustained by immigration but yesterday the Home Office moved to end a crisis that has prevented thousands of highly trained British doctors from advancing their careers.

Somebody point this out to Congress on their continuing increase in H1B visas? They're undermining Americans from developing tech skills in the same manner here.

#4 How's about the medics from Jordan & Pakland who are also trained in airport explosions. No mention of them. Or is this the actual purpose of this finding ?

#6 We need those Aussie doctors here in Australia.

No we don't. The main problem with socialized medicine is the 'its free' syndrome and the resultant over-doctoring.

For example, the Royal Perth Hospital (a public hospital where healthcare is 'free') scheduled me yesterday for a very expensive radiology procedure that after 5 minutes on the internet and 1 minute on the phone with a doctor, I established this procedure (renal perfussion) was a waste of time for someone like me who has kidney problems, but normal blood pressure and no indications of cardio disease.

I assume they were trying to fill a quota to justify their funding.
