CANADIANS HEAD TO MAINE FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT
Normally when you hear about bus trips between Maine and Canada related to health care, it's Mainers going north to buy prescription drugs.
But right about now, a group of Canadians is in Bangor for treatment. Twelve Canadians came south for a similar trip last year. The trip from New Brunswick is sponsored by a Canadian consumer group which says Canada's universal health care system restricts many forms of treatment for Canadians, and forces long waits for tests and procedures such as m-r-i's. The Canadians will be treated in Bangor this afternoon, and then head back to Canada.
