best baby travel systems 2010 image

Canadians know that their socialized healthcare with death panels suck, so many are illegally trespassing to steal some of our SUPERIOR healthcare.
Why doesn't Canada just adopt a good free market healthcare system like we have. (Before Obamacare ruins it)
Answer
In 2010, the Frazier institute study estimated that approximately 47,000 residents of Canada received non-emergency medical care outside of Canada in the previous year. That includes new immigrants, non-Canadians on work/study permits, Canadians who may have been working overseas, etc. It also considers procedures such as having a baby non-emergency care. Without even considering these, it still represents less than 0.14% of all Canadians and some tiny fraction of all medical procedures performed on Canadians. Further, the study does not say that those people had the procedure in the United States.
Meanwhile, over 6 million Americans travel abroad each year for medical procedures. That is almost 2% of Americans. Unlike the Canadian study this does not include legal residents (only US citizens), recent immigrants, nor Americans who may have been living overseas and returned in the year. These are people who specifically left for the primary purpose of medical care.
In other words, per capita, Americans are well over 20 times more likely to leave the US for an elective procedure as a Canadian is to leave Canada.

How long were you successful in TTC after a vasectomy reversal?
Navy Wife
I know that it can take up to a year for it to be successful. My husband is having his reversed next month due to complications and has put it off thus far. We want to TTC as soon as possible so we can have a baby in 2010!
Answer
For us, it only took 3 cycles but we didn't ttc for almost a year after the reversal, so my husband's system was up and running well by that time. For most couples, they can expect not to conceive in the first three months post-op VR because it takes 75 days for sperm to be produced, mature, and travel through the man's "pipes" before the sperm is ejaculated. It can happen though, and some couples even conceive the very first month that they try. Typically I see many couples conceive around 8 months post-op. That's just what I personally observe from visiting different message boards. I hope you get your 2010 baby. Much babydust to you! GL.
