This is a Toronto Star-originated story on the cost and red-tape of getting a rare and urgent operation. Ottawa Senator’s boss Eugene Melnyck now recuperating from a life-saving liver donation will probably pay a good dollar for his surgery. He is a citizen of the Barbadoes and thus would have no OHIP coverage. The assumption is that he will be billed directly by the Toronto professionals and the Toronto General Hospital for the work that saved his life. Not surprising but interesting. The rich do better
