Its not that simple here in the United States. One's ability to pay is not the only limiting factor in ones access to medical care. It is true that a lack of money may be a factor in the time it takes to get potentially life saving medical care, but the delay in arranging care for the uninsured (I've read) is similar to the time it takes one to see a specialist or surgeon, and getting treatment in Canada.

Here's a question, who on average lives the longest (second longest, third...) in the United States (if born in the United States)?
1. African Americans
2. Asians
3. Hispanics
4. Non Hispanic Caucasians
