I went to the Royal Victoria Hospital emergency saturday December 31st with chess pain.On Sunday,had a bunch of tests,EKG,Xrays.Monday,had a stress test and angioplasty.Had 3 stents installed.On Tuesday,had an echography and was home for supper.Try beating that.

Ambulance (for over 65 y.o.)............................................. .................................................. .................$0.00
All test and angio. w/stents............................................ .................................................. ....................$0.00
Living in a great country like Canada............................................ .................................................. .PRICELESS

I know that I was lucky that there was no waiting.The system is not so bad.With any universal health care,you will have some delay.It's still better than having to look at your bank account before going for treament.I dont understand why people in the U.S. are so opposed about this.Could be the doctors and pharmaceutical companys that want to keep their high income.

Regards

Mike
