I realize the people tend to become defensive about their homeland, but why are you arguing for socialized medicine on FR?

Read my other posts I am not I am stating that emergency care should not be talked about flippantly to make political points which some may take seriously.

If you or whoever was trying to score points with clever remarks (I cannot remember if it was you) went to England or Canada and were taken ill I think you would call an ambulance or visit an emergency room. All I am saying is that whoever were inferring that Canada would ignore a medical emergency is just stupid and irresponsible.

Further for the record though a pensioner my father saves a large proportion of his income to use private medicine for his long term problems so I and my family are far from a supporter of it but realise there are times such as medical emergencies when one has to make use of it.
