These figures are again: sequences.
There is no reason that a procedure of choice can not usually wait a little because it is a good treatment in the interval. Canadians die because of waiting times. When the Canadians have contingency measures are quickly implemented. If a case is critical, it will be treated quickly. If you want to be your gall bladder removed because she had a gallstone, it is then subjected to a diet with adequate medication and asked to wait 4-6 weeks for surgery. The operation will be the first and there will be no charge for this.
45 million people in the United States uninsured. 18,000 people in the U.S. die each year for one reason and one reason, no insurance and had no money for treatments they need.
Many more Americans endured years of suffering because they get medical help they need, and millions of people who claimed recently received support to go to bankruptcy or insolvency has occurred in an effort to unaffordable medical bills.
Wait a minuteRe not a big problem for most Canadians, since the entry into force in less critical cases, and in this case, there are always alternatives for medical care and monitoring of waiting. When cases are of crucial importance, there is little or no waiting time.
I do not know. They seem to have the statistics for Canada.
do you really think they want to listen to right? What is waiting with us for longer in the working class in May at a little, but we do not have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars, just to stay alive.
