Hi, blue - haven't seen you for a bit!

If Danny Williams needs a non-routine heart procedure, chances are the wait lists are too long in Newfoundland.

It has happened here in Alberta that the provincial health system has paid for a critical procedure to be done out-of-province, and also in the USA.

One's doctor has to apply, of course - you can't just jump the border and check in to the hospital.

But yeah, it does happen. Hopefully there will be more details in the days to come.

If you can pay for it - you can go to where the treatment is. I did that with my sleep test.
