IF there had been the helicopters that private medicine provides and government medicine does not, then a quick trip over the border to the Cat Scanners that Private Medicine provides and Government Medicine does not might have saved her life if she did not have to wait in the queue that government medicine requires and private medicine does not.

My dad fell off of a ladder and felt fine, two days later splitting headache. Went to local hospital, got scanned and blood buildup was found. He was rushed into operating room and skull was drilled. Saved his life. Total time less than half the time it took for her to just get to the hospital.

She was dead the minute she hit the snow, three times over from government mismanagement. She never had a chance in Canada, her survival was assured in pretty much any place in America. This is the Health Care system that Obama wants to break our backs with in taxes and replace the one that works with one that does not.

Unless of course you are a politician. They will always have helicopters with them.

Hard to know. But I read that the time to chopper her to the 2nd hospital would have been about 15 mins. To get to a hospital in the US may have taken even longer. Part of the problem seems to be that they wasted time trying to evaluate her at the first hospital when they didn’t have the equipment needed to do so. That time alone, before they even made the decision to send her off, may have sealed her fate.
