In a previous article, "Robert M. Gary" said:
state rate. So the super Dr's end up coming to the U.S. for millions
(Neurosurgeons, etc) while the marginal Dr's stay in Canada. He also
said that some surgeries have such a long waiting list that weathy
Canadians simply pay cash for their surgery in the U.S.

Both of those are overgeneralizations. The doctor who worked on my dad's
heart attack in Toronto has been featured on the PBS program "Nova"
because of his innovations in heart surgery.

Whereas I, as a victim of US health care, have been turned away from
treatments prescribed by my doctor because the insurance companies won't
pay. The local pain clinic closed down because the insurance companies
had denied coverage so often. Oh, and I made an appointment for a
neurologist in October. It took some work because none of the
neurologists in a 75 mile radius are taking new patients, but my doctor
knows one and phoned her up to beg her to take me. Guess when I get to
see her? March 29th. I could move back to Canada, get back on OHIP, and
see my dad's neurologist in that length of time.

Which country is it that supposedly has health care rationing again?
