I used to think Socialized Medicine was a good deal... then I got a hip replacement in WV and there were 3 Canadians and 2 Brits there to get hip and knee surgeries too. They all waited 5 years before borrowing money to come here and get it done and pay out of pocket. I had to wait a month or 2 until they could find someone to fill in for me at work.
One of the Canadians cried when I told him that.
"Don't let your government do this to you, yank." A brit said.
