a far worse situation exists in Canada where you must leave the country to get good, private health care ...
My son's brother-in-law is a doctor and spent a year in Vancouver, BC on a Fellowship.
His comments can be boiled down to - it really is worse than we hear.

A friend of mine is a Canadian immigrant. A few years ago, her mother, a Canadian citizen, was diagnosed with colon cancer. Due to her age (late 70’s), she was given painkillers rather than surgery and radiation/chemo. Needless to say, the sweet woman is no longer with us. Man that “free” healthcare is great!
