That makes me very very glad to be a Canadian. Don't get me wrong our health care system has it's share of problems but Everyone here is covered by provincial health care and unless a surgery is cosmetic it is fully covered. And health care premiums are based on income levels. The downside is wait times. Some times it can take months to get to see a specialist. I'm still waiting for the results of some tests I had done a couple of weeks ago. I'm hoping no news is good news
