NC has some pretty first rate facilities and many times one even hears of a CA "star" coming here for care. Maybe look elsewhere and shop around?

Hope she's in one Fint....here or elsewhere, and best to her btw!

Thanks. She has some family here and the weather is nice. I will get the message to my cousins and see what they think.

up to a 2 year wait, just for an MRI here. In British Columbia. unless you are a house pet ......
there are no family doctors available, outside of the city of Vancouver. you have to use a walk in clinic. walk in clinics are not allowed to prescribe an MRI. they are also not allowed to take on a new patient under 65 years of age.
oh, and medical is not free, either, you have to pay monthly premiums.
the rich folks have private (publicly funded) care, to go with their private (publicly funded) schools.

My brother in law. A doctor. Moved out of Vancouver because he couldn't afford to live there.

he didn't want to spend 3 million on a run down starter shack, in a bad neighbourhood?

it's a great place to launder stolen Chinese money.
everyone, including the tax man, banker, realtor, etc. turns a blind eye.

directly across from a school yard, that's why it's priced reasonably.
