[quote=EconProf]You need to look at the quality of doctors, not just the quantity. Would you rather be treated by an Uzbekistani doctor in a hospital in Uzbekistan, or an American doctor in America?[/quote]

I don’t think primary care physicians in Uzbekistan are lesser doctors than their US counterparts. They likely cannot order an MRI for you, though. But I was thinking about the cost and ease of access. Having more trained professionals would help with both.
