Funny.
Though we rank soooo low in healthcare quality, many Many dignitaries and royalty from other nations regularly come to the good ole USA when they need a procedure done. Sultan of Brunei (sp?) is the richest man in the world. When his son needed a procedure to ablate an abnormal conduction pathway in his heart, He went to Oklahoma City. The list is long of similar stories, I assure you.
As much as I admire Canada and the way they have attempted to cope with this difficult issue, Last year It was a 6-9 month wait for a routine screening MRI (I'm sure if they thought you had cancer you wouldn't wait that long). They Have more MRI facilities in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area than in the whole of Canada.
Yes, US docs overuse MRI/ct scans (letigation has something to do with that) but there are very REAL consequences to having someone (Govt.) manage care.
I have seen some wonderful VA hospitals, staff, and nurses, and yet I still cringe when I think about this as the model for US healthcare delivery
I agree with my friend Samantha's statement. As a healthcare professional,I would love a fix for Universal care that keeps the quality of our current system, with access for everyone. I am not bright enough to understand the intricacies such a plan, but many brilliant people are working on it. Massachussetts has had a plan in effect for a few years. does anyone know how this is working?
