>>" All I can tell you is my experience. And my Dad has had knee surgery. Once the decision was made to do the operation, there was no long wait. "<< Ah yes, "no long wait"...yup, another example of the benefits of Medicare...that single payer, Universal Health Care System in the US for its elderly citizens...too bad it is "evil" socialism. Better to dump $12Bn a month into killing Iraqis and destroying that country...that is "good" socialism.

I just told you, I had knee surgery and did not have to wait in NYC....it wasn't considered elective..Where I live, I couldn't even get an appointment for more than a month... I did have to wait for rotator cuff surgery in NYC. You won't have to wait for chest pain, bypass, angioplasty, an appendectomy, emergency gall bladder, or broken leg..... You can expect to wait for things like knee and hip replacement, rotator cuff, plastic surgery, a annual physical exam, a colonoscopy, and an endoscopy....(if there is no emergency)
