Re: Just a couple of observations

>but Americans are now not allowed
>to buy their medicine from Canada?

I heard last night two things about Canadian medicine I found
disturbing:

1. it is illegal to charge for medical treatment in Canada

2. certain procedures such as knee replacements can not be done under
law until the recipient is at least 65 years old due to the lack of
resources and the fact that artificial joints only last 10-25 years

Can anybody factually dispel or verify the comments I heard? I just
can't imagine being 45 years old with degenerative arthritis and having
to wait 20 more years for relief whether I had the money or not to pay
for it.
