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? 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. .

My point exactly. What were they waiting for? An M.I.? If you were sick enough to require intervention when they did the angiogram, you should have been stented or bypassed immediately, not a month later. Oh right, you wait your turn on the list in Canada. Or, go to Cleveland and pay cash.
