I have no idea... I mentioned earlier that I spoke with a world famous doctor (metabolic medicine) from Canada who was heading up a research department for NASA. And I asked her about the difference in medical care between the U.S. and Canada. And she told me if she were to get sick in the U.S. she was beating a path to Canada as fast a she could. She said medical care in the U.S. is inconsistent. Whereas in Canada every citizen has access to "solid medical care." Perhaps you have to weight for a knee operation in Canada. But they are less likely to cut off your leg in Canada. So while you might have to wait in Canada for knee surgery, in the U.S. if you don't have the best insurance, you are more likely to lose the leg than anything else. Anyways I don't know. I spoke with a famous doctor and she said it was way, way better in Canada. That's all.
