We could get these started on YouTube. Interviews with people living in Britan and Canada. These could be easily (and cheaply done.) I have no doubt there are plenty of people in both Britan and Canada mad enough about their health car system that they would be willing to help us.

Want to know how universal health car works, listen and learn.

My name is John Smith and I live in Lancaster, England. I was diagnosed with cancer. The government doctors told me they wouldn’t treat my cancer because they couldn’t spend that much money on someone my age. With treatment, I would probably live another 5-10 years. The doctors told me I will die in less than 8 months because they can’t treat me.

My name is Jane Doe and I live in Ottawa, Canada. My general practitioner found a problem with my heart. He said if I don’t get surgery within the month I will die. He had me make an appointment with a heart specialist who could perform the surgery. The earlist appointment I could schedule is 18 months from today.

That's an excellent idea! I saw one of those damned pro-national health care commercials on TV this a.m. & thought the same thing!

Yes,that's good.But they'd have to be backed up by newspaper headlines and stats.I remember being in Florida a few years ago and seeing a Toronto newspaper there (which isn't unusual...lots of Canadians spend the winter in FL).The headline read something like "2,000 Ontario Cancer Patients Sent To US For Treatment".The story went on to say that if these patients were required to remain within the Canadian health system they would have had to have waited months (can't remember how many months) for their treatment to begin once a diagnosis was made.
