Because I live in Ontario it was all covered under our medicare program. I was actually surprised at how well everything went. Basically 2 months from the visit to the specialist until the surgery, excellent treatment for 5 days in hospital, and no problem with prescriptions. By the time I was released, I was down to Tylenol 3's. So I guess that's an example of a universal program working okay. I write about the whole process leading upto, and after, the surgery as well as my ongoing recovery at www.totalkr.blogspot.com for those interested in knee replacements in particular, and universal health care in general.
