This is anecdotal, but telling nonetheless.
Belinda Stronach, the MP for Newmarket-Aurora and former cabinet minister, travelled outside Canada’s health-care system to California for some of her breast cancer treatments.

I wonder why.
Its the same in all socialists countries. The party leaders (politburo members) go to capitalist countries for their treatments. Hell, even Islamic terrorists do. I met King Fahd’s (Saudia Arabia) heart surgeon by chance at DFW airport in 2004. He was a british guy. He went on and on about the Evil Bush and the beauty of Britain’s health care system. I asked him why he was in the USA, he said to do some surgery. I laughed, he had to come to the USA to make any money.
Its always the same. Its good enough for their subjects, but such great “leaders” and “minds” should have the best. It always comes down to who has the guns in the end of a socialist nightmare.
We have the best system in the world. Can everyone afford the best....? Of course not. But then again all Italians don’t drive Ferraris. If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. I think Universal Healthcare fits that bill....don’t you?
I try and use the analogy of the DMV with useful idiots who are taken with government programs. Thats how well government does things. Most people have to suffer through the DMV at least once in their lives. It is designed for inefficiency. Many average liberals can relate with that experience. But they will quickly revert to their emotionally induced ignorance and continue spouting their party line. Most liberals are well indoctrinated by the MSM and their “college experience”. They are good little robots.
Don’t waste your time trying to figure them out. It will only make you dizzy.
Thank you to you and everyone else who chimed in!! So much to digest, but in a good sense.
Actually it's quite simple. She had had reconstructive surgery in Toronto , where , if you had read the article you posted , you'd know she had all of her treatment for cancer.
Why California? Seems they specialize in rebuilding nipples. She survived that surgery too.
