If you want something ruined let the government manage it. This is a perfect example. Just remember this when you get government run health care.
Doctor: You need an MRI.
Health care regulator: Get on the waiting list, it'll be about a year.
Patient: I can't afford to go to India for the MRI, I'll wait.
Doctor: I am so sorry your spouse passed away from a brain tumor.
Health care regulator: The Patient died? Good! Brain surgery is too expensive for common folk.
Think the above is exaggerated? In the U.K. the average time spent on a waiting list for an MRI is 1 year. People in Canada or the U.K. that can afford private health care go to India or the USA, every one else dies before "expensive" care is given.
