Canada gets our movie industry and we get their doctors. Sounds like a good deal to me :-)

I was watching an interview with Lance Armstrong and his take on the French about earlier-in-his-career hostilities towards him stemming from his cancer. Their attitude about cancer is, as he describes, almost like a contagious death... a terrible terrible illness that people don't survive, something they don't talk about. That attitude comes from a society where hope of surviving cancer is low because they do not have the medical care and cancer expertise we have here in the U.S.

Yes, and if you think health care is expensive, wait until it becomes free!
