The Heritage Foundation presents a TOP TEN LIST:
TEN SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT AMERICAN HEALTH CARE

-- basic standard for mammograms in Canada: every other year, from age 50
[American Cancer Society recommends every year, from age 40)
--Canada 13th of 24 developed nations in MRI machines per capita
[6.7 per million, versus U.S. 26.5 per million]
--average wait time for non-emergency MRI scan in Ontario: 102 days
--average wait time from GP appointment to specialist treatment: 8 weeks
