So the new comparison is Canada and Illinois. I can remember that! :)
(Thanks for catching this! I had no idea.)
This is super weird, isn't it? Some of it is obviously overprescription on the US side, but also: Canada could just get more machines.
It's kinda weird, yeah! Not sure if Canada thinks the rest of the world overuses MRI machines in a cost x diagnostically inefficient way, or what, but I'm sure months-long waiting lists aren't optimal either.
