[QUOTE="fact check, post: 587267, member: 24643"] The Canadian system partners with Michigan hospitals. The Canadian system paid for it. Read the article. ""I go to the hospital in Windsor and two hours later, I'm done having angioplasty in Detroit," he said. His $38,000 bill was covered by the Ontario health ministry." Also "No plan currently under discussion in Congress calls for a universal plan like Canada's, but opponents fear socialized medicine, anyway." "But Dr. Uwe Reinhardt, a Princeton University health economist who has studied the U.S. and Canadian health systems, said arrangements with cities like Detroit "are a terrific way to manage capacity" given Canada's smaller health care budget. "This is efficient," he said. "At least in Canada, you don't worry about going broke to pay for health care. You do here."" [/QUOTE]
