I don't believe that Sarah said this. I read her book, and she's never lived close enough to the Canadian border to have "snuck over".

Well, the first thing to do in cases like this is to see exactly what a person said, and get the rest of the facts lined up first... That's what I did and I cam up with Post #199 ...
You'll see that they did live close enough to Canada. And you'll see that it was before the time of their current health care system that they have in Canada now. And it was basically going to the nearest and easiest to reach medical facility to take care of what needed to be taken care of.
That doesn't seem like a bad thing to me. I mean, why do you want to go on a more difficult journey instead of an easier journey to a medical facility, no matter what country it's in?
At any rate, don't engage in knee-jerk responses, but check out all the details first. :-)
Yes she did. They lived in Skagway, which is no more than 30 miles from the border and only a 100 or so from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory,... and you can drive to it in just over 2 hours, whereas getting to Juneau, the nearest Alaskan city of any size, requires a 3 hour ferry trip, for a total trip of 7+ hours, not counting waiting for the ferry.
