Have been all over the world! With out fear I might add! So? You think I and other Americans haven't been? $225,000 per year. Not bad at all! Lets say Canadians average is $175,000. Americans surgeons have Very high insurance rates, Tort reform. See below. (Hire separate billing service) Is that free???????? Is it free when the Canadian gov't does it? Do they just pay any bill a doc sends in or do the check it? If a hospital runs a test and bills it, is the bill just paid? If a hospital says it needs an extra MRI machine to handle its load, is it just bought or is need verified? Or do the patients do without? Not to mention the worries of be sued! The stress associated with the previous mentioned. One more time: Changes to the American tort system are necessary. Period. Whether a single-payer or multi-payer system is used. Caps are needed. As I said, if you wish to argue THAT point, go see geode00. He thinks the American tort system is JUST DANDY. I don't. You and I are more in agreement on this than in opposition. Getting it done is going to be another matter. Trail lawyers swing lots of $$$$. In Canada, None of that exists. You don't pay taxes to support the gov't that handles and verifies those doctors bills? AMAZING! How do you do that? Yes everything on T.V is a exaggeration, when you want your way :) Then prove your point without reference to an uncertifiable TV point. One of AS's favorite tactics was to refer to some statement on some program that no one else could remember and couldn't be verified. <<Maybe you need to quit reading SI and watching TV and find out what's going on in the real world.>> LOL! Thats how you know about the real world, the T.V! Amazing! You make me think that's how you do, yes.
