[QUOTE=belmont;1043918]Wonder why 20 % of cardiac surgery at Cleveland Clinic is on Canadian's payiing cash? I guess they couldn't wait for an appointment.[/QUOTE
Your point? Our system has it's problems but the system in the USA has no room for criticism. I was diagnosed as having partial blockages in November - operated in December. Six days in the hospital, numerous tests, then three months of cardiac rehab, plus more tests - nothing out of my pocket. I paid around 16k in income tax last year on income of 90K plus. I'm sure Americans pay close to the same if not more.
