Of course, even in the US where we pay twice as much for healthcare for the same outcome compared to CA and EU, doctors and nurses are in short supply. Seems like something else may be going on.

Just because healthcare is expensive in the US it doesn't mean nurses get well paid.

No, but while offering more pay might bring back nurses who have left for other careers, it will not bring new nurses on quickly as training takes a lot of time.
