1. In the 1960s, Whitehorse likely had the nearest medical facility capable of providing the needed care. It is entirely probably that Mr. Heath got on the phone to his local doctor and was advised to go to Whitehorse.

2. “Canadian Health Care” as we know it came into existence in 1984.

3. Some people meed to reset the sensitivity of their freakout triggers, and remember that those who will criticize SHP over this would criticize her if she said the sun was shining.

LOL! Ain't THAT the truth!

Tell me about it. I hope freepers realize thousands of Americans head to Canada every year for Lasik surgery. Why? Because cash is king and if you have cash, you get in right away.

You were saying ...

I think they do, too... LOL ...

It's no big deal when you see what she said. I had to laugh at everyone freaking out here... :-)

I just checked, it's 2+ hours from Skagway to Whitehorse, over 7 hours to Juneau, and you apparently have to take ferry for most of that, even today. 3 hours of the trip is on the Ferry. Trip might be longer depending on the ferry schedule.

I'd go to Canada too.
