Life expectancy is a function of demographics, which averages ignore. Income is also an assertion not supported by data. For simple procedures such as a knee or hip replacement, many people earning under $80K CAD opt for US treatment. Likely because Canada has extremely bad waitlists which are continuing to deteriorate. That coupled with a lack of specialist medical options and lesser quality. In Canada, a woman with breast cancer could be waiting 2 months to even start treatment. In the US, you'll be starting next week. | ||
