Here is MUST SEE video of a Canadian woman diagnosed with a brain tumor telling her nightmare story of what she faced in the government-run Canadian health care system. She would have faced a six month wait just to see the needed doctors to determine treatment. She came to the U.S. and had seen the needed specialists within ONE WEEK! Those doctors tried to pull strings in Canada to get her needed surgery scheduled and could not. She wound up having her surgery here in the United States.

The end of the video is especially poignant. The woman begins to cry and says something profound:

"All my life I've lived in this country (Canada) with public health insurance, and I always thought I would be OK - that everything would be fine. And when I needed help, it wasn't there, and that's the thing I find so tragic."

This is what we have to look forward to if Obama and the Democrats succeed in imposing socialized medicine on the United States. . . . . (Watch Video)

Pituitary tumors are benign and very slowly growing. I suspect it had been there for 10 years to get to the point it was pressing on the chiasm. A month or two delay would not have affected the outcome significantly. Vision is generally reversed quite rapidly after decompression. While the Canadian health care system is replete with horror stories, I would not put this one at the top of the list.
