It is possible to get a full-body CAT scan in Buffalo, New York for $900

That's nice. I can get one at a private clinic in Hull Quebec for $750 and I can get one for my dog or cat in London Ont. for $1000. (No, they don't do humans there)

I can get a MRI in Sudbury in 5-7 days or if I want to drive to Timmins,(which would be a 5 hour drive for me) tomorrow. At no cost. My mother-in- law , who is in Southern Ontario, needed a CAT scan 3 weeks ago. She has cancer. She waited 4 days.

BTW last year a little over 600 people crossed over to the US for procedures that aren't done here. Ontario paid the bill.

Well, then knock yourself out, you lucky dog. If any of this is true, you are surely leading the blessed life, and we would all be streaming across the Canadian border, even as we speak.

And how much of your paycheck goes to taxes?

Can you explain? Why would anybody open a private MRI clinic if one can get a FREE MRI with little to no wait? It seems to me that anyone with half a brain would just get the free MRI.
