In Canada, instead of waiting an average 9.5 months(!) to replace a painful knee, you can go to Duval Orthopedic Clinic in Montreal to get a knee replacement for under $14,000 USD (compared to $49,000 in the US). In the US, your charge is likely to be $49,000, but I think many insurers have agreements to only pay 20-40% of that. Woe to you if uninsured in the US, though: they'll expect the full $49K.
