Well it seems that our health system is getting backed up. Neighbor next door needs hip surgery and he has to wait a year to get a hip replacement. Plus he is in pain. My wife needs a hernia operation. She had it done twenty years ago. Initial wait time now just to see a specialist was a year but we have found another one with a shorter wait time to see the specialist and getting the op done.
In view of the fact that the wait time may still be too long would be interested to know what you US citizens experienced with hip and hernia ops particularly the money aspect.
Does everybody on this forum have health insurance coverage? If not would be interested in knowing what it costs to get these ops done. For those with health insurance do you find out what the actual cost is for an operation?
If the wait is too long for either my wife or my neighbor we may consider coming to the US for our ops. We checked with our travel health insurance rep and he said we can get coverage but does not cover the part that needs the op. Fair enough.
Any comments would be appreciated!
