Yeah - I'm sure that's why Seattle hospitals are flooded with Canadians who
come over the border to get the care and treatment that their system
"rations" out to them. The Canadian system is great - as long as you don't
get sick and don't need medical care....! The onlyt thing that prevents
chaos and collapse is "rationing" care. I'll take our system any day.....

Check out the numbedr of Canadians who live in Ontario and go to Detroit,
Chicago and other such centers....

Ask yourself why 95% of all Canadians live within a hundred miles of the US
border....
