Interesting facts. I know Ontario has fewer hospital that do heart surgery. There were ~6600 surgeries in Ontario last year. Divided by the 11 centers, that works out to about 12 surgeries per hospital per week, which doesn't seem like an extraordinary number. I also looked at the statistical death rate from heart disease per 100,000 compared to PA. PA has a rate of heart disease death ~20% higher than Ontario...which is comparable to national statistics.

Per the latest factbook numbers, Canada's life expectancy ranks 13th worldwide. The USA ranks 51st. Clearly something isn't working.
