“I like treating patients more than I like the endless hours of dealing with paperwork and insurance claims.”

It's funny how different people have different experiences. Both my brother (when he was in private practice) and my wife used to take Medicare patients but stopped because they were frustrated with dealing with the endless hours of paperwork and trying to get their claims paid through Medicare. My wife started taking Medicare patients again a few years ago, and dealing with them has easily been the single most frustrating part of her practice - vastly worse than any of the private insurers that she is on panels for.

Maybe Canada's system is much gentler on providers than Medicare is. Medicare's great for patients in terms of claims and paperwork, but at least anecdotally it's not always easy for providers to navigate.
