Stan, it would be ridiculous to subsidize other countries' citizens. They pay the going rate. The difference in costs of care between here and there is so great that Canadians often charter medavac jets to take them home for treatment. More than 50 years ago I had a misdiagnosed heart attack that put me in hospital for a month. My taxes paid for it. The hospital said that it would have cost at least $100,000 in the US---then.
