[QUOTE="RickN, post: 1339250, member: 8854"] I do not know of any group keeping those stats, I wish I did because I think you would be surprised. I do know the growing trend is for people from the US and all over Europe to travel to Mexico, India, Cuba etc for cut rate medical care. Of course they get what they pay for. Sometimes good many times very, very bad. I also know a bunch of Canadians that do come to the US for treatment because it is not available in Canada within a time frame that will do them any good. A Canadian Minister was here about a year ago because while he could get treatment for his heart condition in Canada, he could not wait the 6 months to a year. As for that other 95% you mention, good healthcare is available if you know where to look. The big problem is our politicians do not talk about it because it would cost the government more if more people knew about it. I know a guy, 30s with several problems. He gets all his care for free including his meds and is not on any other government assistance. It is there but not talked about. We also are not behind those countries because of our healthcare system but our attitudes toward healthcare and our lifestyles. Frankly for one, we need to lay off the bacon.
