Our Urologist has everything on site in their office. X-rays, ultrasound, CT scan, so if you go in for a kidney stone or whatever, it's just one stop.

I mean you're framing it as a way amercian health care is superior to canadian health care but really that's an example of canadian health care vs private American coverage for those that can afford hundreds a month or have good enough jobs for coverage. Not apples to apples.
