For the Canadians in the house.  Is surgery generally cheaper in Canada than the US?  I had an idea that it might be since Canada relies more on a socialized system of healthcare than a privatized system.

The full cost of surgery is comparable. However, govenment funded health care programs here in Canada cover the majority of surgery fees.

The only thing that is not covered is Lipo. That, the patient pays himself....

Well, too bad for Canada's bodybuilders.  So, roughly how much does gyno surgery cost in Canada?

OMG!  Those deals you Canadian bros are getting on gyno surgery is sooooo unfair!  Maybe, I'll have to make a trip north of the border to Canada to have this done!

The reason it's cheap it because our government PAYS for the Gyne Surgery. The only thing we have to pay is the liposuction because it's comestic.

I dont know if an American will get their gyne sergury paid for them.
