Canadian Physicians Salaries My main question when starting the research for this paper was how much a Canadian physician earns each year and whether or not their earnings affect the quality of health care. I’ve always had the assumption that Canadian doctors made significantly less money than their American counterparts and in my mind that led me to automatically believe that Canadian healthcare could not possibly be as good as the United States. I find it completely natural to make this assumption having grown up in a society where better performance equals more money and poor performance equals less. Just take a look at the NBA. Michael Jordan excelled in his field and was paid accordingly. He was one of the highest paid players in the NBA pulling in over 25 million dollars a year. Compare that to players making the league minimum of around 700,000 dollars a year whose names we can’t remember because of their average performance. In the work field, raises are given based on excelled performance. The more one excels, the higher the raise. So, how could a Canadian doctor who makes significantly less than an American doctor possibly be as good. So, back to the original question, “Do Canadian doctors make less than American doctors?” According to my research, the answer is yes, but not by a significant amount.
