Can you say socialized medicine? Why do you think so many Canadian Nurses and Docs. come here to work?

I don't know how much a nurse is paid in the US, but remember, when making a comparison, that in the US salaries are reported "before taxes", in Europe usually "after main taxes", including things like pension and healthcare. The "real" salary is so near 30-40% higher. Anyway a nurse in Italy can gain (after taxes, as I said) 1,400 - 1,500 รข‚¬ month minimum wage, including some further benefits.
