Probably not, maddog. Apparently this happened in 2013 in one province, and there has not been a rush back home from the U.S. since then with Canadian patients.

It's great that Canada is giving doctors some ability to treat outside of the IDSA concrete.

This article is rather daunting looking at it from our side, though, as to what chances of hope US doctors will have.

Is Your State Being Targeted by a Medical Monopoly?

By anh-usa on February 9, 2016 [From the Alliance for Natural Health]

Excerpts:

It may be—if a secretive, private, and powerful organization called the Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) gets its way. . . .

. . . The FSMB—a private trade association that sets standards which are often followed by state medical boards—has historically been no friend to integrative medicine. Despite having no public funding, transparency, or accountability, FSMB wields a tremendous amount of power over the practice of medicine in all fifty states. . . .

[Full article at link above, very important to read]

[at the end of the article, a list of states where legislation is pending -- but keep scrolling below that to "States where the compact is enacted - many more states listed.

Even if a state is not on the list, there could be action going on behind closed doors - so much of this is done in secret.]
