I don't want to make light of the SARS epidemic, but take note that Canadians have to go south of the border to get the care they need.

And to think some in this country want socialized medicine...

Canada is essentially encouraging the infected to invade US emergency rooms. Thanks, neighbor.

Be fair, the Canadians are having to close hospitals to try and stop the SARS epidemic. They don't really have a choice, and it has nothing to do with socialized medicical care, it's about SARS.

[CJ Wolf]

Close the border. I don't want those canadians bringing that crap down here to infect our hospitals.

Apparently the government hasn't approved funding for SARS treatment yet. Someone call Hillary!

I want my socialized medicine,
and I wanted now.

Hey Canadians,
since you love warm weather so much,
what about taking a jaunt
to a Caribbean island,
let's say Cuba?

Cheap airfare,
cheap hotel rooms
and socialized medicine.

I'm am so sick of Canada... their smugness and complaceny, their betrayal of us over the war etc. the name calling from their government etc etc. And now they are irresponsibly sending people with SARS here. Time to close the border with Canada.

"TORONTO - Restrictions imposed on Ontario hospitals due to the threat of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome are pushing many Canadians to head south of the border for treatment or diagnostic testing, often at their own expense. "

They better Dam well pay for their own effing medicine if it's in OUR COUNTRY. Secondly, whodo they think they are bringing contamination to this country?

SARS can be deadly: I say keep the anti-war, socialist , french-loving Canadians OUT, let their so-much-better-than-ours health care take care of em.

[Henchman]

EXACTLY! Great article. It hits Hillary where she and PM CRETAN breathe. Interesting in that I heard Canadians finance their Socialized Medicine with gasoline taxes - do they now get a discount per gallon?

In their workers' paradise, if someone is ill and the employer signs a note that the worker is needed etc., they jump to the head of the line for needed surgery. At least we were even before, we went to Canada for cheaper prescription drugs and they came here for cheaper clothes and medical care - oops, now they are flocking here - wait till the epidemic really starts. (BTW the drugs we buy on the cheap in Canada are supplied to Canada at a discount price from US manufacturers. If drug stores were charged the same, there would be some savings as we wouldn't have to go to Canada.

They should be refused in the hospitals here. They will spread the illness to us! Besides, aren't the French going to help them?

HK Health System on Brink (OF COLLAPSE) as SARS Spreads .

By the way, I don't think the health system in Hong Kong is socialized.
