Pan, how long did it take for you to get into surgery after the initial cancer diagnosis?
You would not have to have paid anything if you and I were neighbors. You just would have had to wait a little longer, I imagine.

I recently had an experience dealing with surgery with respect to canadian health care.
On a thursday I went to the Doctor's office, he said I needed surgery on my hand to realign the bone and plate it into place. On the friday I went under and had the surgery. The only way it could have possibly been faster was if I went in the same day... a little unrealistic for something not so serious.
Canada's health care system gets a bad rep, unnecessarily. I agree with bigben: if you were my neighbour, you'd be paying less for your education, getting more in student financial aid, and gotten your health problem cared for without charge.
