kLEIN,
Sure klein,
And the tooth fairy still leaves money under the pillow.
In the real world --huge numbers of Canadiens with serious health problems come to the U.S. to avoid the weeks if not months of waiting periods.
Did your mother apply for her hip replacement twenty years ago ???
No, actually she fell and broke it !
Our system works by urgency.
Just like when I went into the walk-in clinic with a bloody dog bitten hand.
I didn't need to wait a minute to get care.
Those with a cold or flu waiting in line before me, were still waiting when I walked out.
I know, in the USA, you can get a hip replacement, even though you don't need one.
No need to wonder why healthcare costs in the US are the most expensive in the world. And if Canadians can afford to jump the line and pay cash in the US, well, good for them. It's peanuts for us, I guess, that so many of us Canadians have that extra luxery.
Next time, for whatever reason it may be that your visiting a hospital, please ask the front desk out of curosity how many Canadians are currently in here getting surgery they couldn't in Canada. (Tourists not included - that may have fallen ill, or broke a bone, while vacationing).
