Re: Re: Nurse-to-patient staffing minimums are a reform victory

The brain drain, such as the nurses from Philippines, might provide
remittances to needy people back home, but the country would do better to
find productive domestic employment for their trained personnel.  In my
hometown, the good number of the doctors are from India and the
Philippines.  I cannot believe that they have a surplus of good medical
care.  Cuba can afford to export doctors, given its surplus, but it is
unique.
