....he did not have to wait in line in Canada to get surgery

FYI - Both my parents unfortunately "had to wait in line" for several months at the very same hospital for heart surgeries. One was a valve replacement, the other was to work on an atrial fibrillation issue.

So I don't know where this notion of Americans never having to wait months for surgery comes from.

I did not have to wait in line...As a matter a fact I was bumped to the front of the line since mine was more life threatening..

I am wondering where in America you are talking about waiting in line..If that was really the case then you had better pray very hard we do not get Government Health care..or your parends might just not be seen at all..
