Cousin with Crohn's - waited about 10 years to have surgery to control it. 2nd cousin, a young girl, had TMJ since she was 10 or 11, many days out of school over the years due to the pain and headaches it caused as she grew. Finally, her dad ended up paying 17k (in Canadian dollars) to have it fixed in the USA when they just couldn't wait anymore on the Canadian Healthcare 'list' to get it fixed.
Newfoundlanders are the kindest people in the world - and they actually like Americans.
In keeping with the post though, it is amazing to me that Canadians don't see the irony and hypocrisy of the PM coming to America for health care.
I've lived in Canada myself, and I find that most Canadians are not much different than Americans. We just draw lines at different places when it comes to personal liberty, freedom, natural rights, etc. In my mind, the typical Canadian I know is someone who desires nothing more than to live a simple life and die quietly. This is why they have always been some of the most docile people on the planet.

I'm not really sure about that, considering that a lot of goods in our own stores, come from China, and cars that come from Japan or Korea or somewhere in Europe, and then a lot of oil from the Muslim countries (to say nothing about some of that oil coming from the great country of Venezuela... LOL...), and you can go right down the list of things we've all got in our houses and that we wear and that we consume from all other places than right here in this country.
It would seem that the consumers in the U.S. do a lot of "supporting" of many other countries in the world...
