Cross Border Shopping: How Much for Your Heart?

David Edgell, Anne Dipchand, Christine Harrison and Peter A. Singer

Canadian healthcare cannot continue to subsidize US transplant programs while paying their inflated organ acquisition fees. Canadian hospitals should bill US transplant programs for all costs associated with procuring organs.
