Ask the Canadians why they are afraid to get sick while in the US.
wrong… talked to a customer of mine once in Canada that was shocked I had my knee replaced at age 55. His mom at age 75 is on the waiting list at the time for 2 years. Hospitals in CA only do X amount of knees annually. He said it seemed like they are waiting for her to die. Another doctor I met while traveling who does knees said his brother was on the list. He would do his brother tomorrow but it was not allowed. UK is the same way. Many Canadians come to the US and pay out of pocket instead of waiting years.
