I haven’t heard complaints about the quality of care in the US. I do hear surprise at the costs. I do recall that decades ago my parents were travelling in the US. My mother had a fainting spell. From northern California they turned around and came back to Canada so she could see a doctor. Some years ago an incident was reported in the Toronto papers. A man and his father were travelling in Florida. When the father needed to see a doctor they were relieved that they had medical insurance. But the doctor refused to deal with the insurance company. He demanded cash. And he phoned the local airport to tell them not to let the father board a plane. ken h http://www.nanaimobulletin.com/news/alkan-air-opens-hangar-at-nanaimo-airport/ <http://www.nanaimobulletin.com/news/alkan-air-opens-hangar-at-nanaimo-airport/> “Our core business has mainly been medical flying. Mainly picking up Canadians vacationing in the States or further afield, who have either gotten injured or sick. We pick them up and bring them back to Canada into the medical system here,” he said. “We decided it was time to go ahead and do a long-term investment and put some roots down.” _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
