First let me say that I am opposed to anything socialized. There is a reason why the starter of this thread is considering coming south for surgery. He may be coming south to find a good Canadian doctor. I live in basically a rural area - we are at least an hour and a half from a semi-major medical center (by plane!) We have in the past had a difficult time getting doctors to come to our hospital - we now have seven. Of the seven doctors two are from Pakistan and the other five ... are Canadian. They come here for basically two reasons. Money. Work load. They are making a lot more money and seeing less that a third if the patients they were having to see in Canada. You may look at socialized medicine as an asset - perhaps the wait, lack of choice as to time or care is worth it to you. Me! I'll continue trying to pay for what I have.
