Here are the differences between the work visas.

Currantaly NAFTA TN as mentioned in the OP link
which clearly reads.

Permanent residents of Canada and Mexico are not able to apply for TN visas to work as NAFTA professionals.

Now go to the H-1B work visa requirements.

• A bachelor’s degree or higher degree or its equivalent is normally the minimum requirement for the particular position;
• The degree requirement is common for this position in the industry, or the job is so complex or unique that it can only be performed by someone with at least a bachelor's degree in a field related to the position;
• The employer normally requires a degree or its equivalent for the position; or
• The nature of the specific duties is so specialized and complex that the knowledge required to perform the duties is usually associated with the attainment of a bachelor's or higher degree.

The positions the hospital are filling require a masters degree.

The fees and time frame to apply are the same as Canada requires of a US citizen.

In short under the NAFTA TN visa I could hire a babysitter from Canada ,the H-1B visa requirement matches Canada's same work requirements for Americans and puts a stop to the abuses that others have used with free rein,so if you want to be mad at somebody be mad at where the blame should be,without the agenda.

Mr. Trump made it clear throughout his whole campaign that he was going to level the playing field and anybody that has been around for awhile should know that that is half the battle.It should really be no surprise.
