We use more health care than canadians.
Health care in Canada is rationed by the government. Unless you have
an imminently life threatening condition you can not get to see a
specialist right away or have surgery performed. This applies even
to severe injuries like fractures.
Canadians who can afford it come to the US since they are not allowed
to go outside the system in their own counrty. Sounds great doesn't
it?
Depends on what you mean by "right away".
I had a few little marks on my face that were marring my usual 'rugged
handsome' appearance. ;-)
It took 6 weeks to see a skin specialist and have the them blasted with
liquid nitrogen.
This was purely cosmetic........... he didn't charge me one red penny.
Matter of fact, I called back for a re-do because a bit of the larger
marks remained.
I'm scheduled in right after New Years, but they said to keep calling
back in case he has cancellations between now & then.
I realize this may be slow service compared to what y'all are used to in
Florida, but the price is right.
Funny, I had an ingrown hair on my eyelid once. He asked is this
cosmetic for billing purposes. I said no, I don't want eyelid troubles
later on -- covered.
Took me 4 months from the time I got the referral to done.
