My dad is gung-ho for socialized medicine a la Canada. A year ago he had to have open heart surgery to replace a valve and have a quadruple bi-pass.
Under Canada's system he would now be dead, since he was 83 at the time and the cutoff for such treatment in Canada is 65.
He loves Obama, but he loves himself more. If Obama had come along 10 years sooner he'd have essentially sacrificed his life for his false messiah.
I know a number of Canadians who are fairly wealthy and they ALL have funds set aside to travel to the US and Europe if necessary for medical treatment.
