More evidence of the superiority of the US health care system over those run by foreign governments:
Liberal [Canadian] MP Belinda Stronach, who is battling breast cancer, travelled to California last June for an operation that was recommended as part of her treatment, says a report.
Stronach’s spokesman, Greg MacEachern, told the Toronto Star that the MP for Newmarket-Aurora had a “later-stage” operation in the U.S. after a Toronto doctor referred her.
The story reminds us if you have a serious medical problem, you don’t want to be anywhere other than the US:
“Belinda had one of her later-stage operations in California, after referral from her personal physicians in Toronto. Prior to this, Belinda had surgery and treatment in Toronto, and continues to receive follow-up treatment there,” said MacEachern.
He said speed was not the reason why she went to California.
Instead, MacEachern said the decision was made because the U.S. hospital was the best place to have it done due to the type of surgery required.
Her own - Canadian - doctor told her, for the important stuff, get out of Canada and into the US - and not because of speed, but because of better care.
I wonder if Michael Moore still thinks she’d be better off in Cuba or Venezuala. More importantly, will Hillary turn the US into another Cuba or Venezuala?

She probably went to lala land to get a better boob job. They are the experts after all. In Canada they probably don’t pay for silicone reconstruction after mastectomy…..
Where will anyone go for quality health care of the US government gets ahold of ours and screws it up just like they do most everything else?
You mean they can’t even do a competent boob job in Canada? California, Texas, Florida, etc. etc. - but not Canada?
And how would she get it paid for by going to California to have it done?
Hillary’s new and improved health care plan will require us to do exercise. I wonder if she is picking out the uniforms for the jack-booted thugs to check on us?
I knew someone that lived in Nova Scotia and they had to go to New York constantly for proper treatment for MS. Somehow it gets paid for, but don’t ask me how.
#5 - Canadian 17% GST natch!
HELLary needs to show us any government where socialized medicine works. Repackaging of that plan she developed under Bill’s administration will not work. Government involvement has never and will never work. HELLary thanks for showing your true ultra liberal left wing colors with socialistic tendancies. We knew you couldn’t keep it in if you wanted the left wing wacko vote.
so if the government forces me to exercise and I get sore muscles (or worse) do I then get a disability check for the rest of my life? ha ha
Read somewhere yesterday (don’t ask for the link, I can’t remember where - could have been here for all I know!) that Bush said he wanted to make sure the US had universal health care before he left office. If we are unlucky enough it won’t matter if we vote for hellary robbem clinton or not. Bush is doing all the dirty work ahead of time - illegal amnesty, one world order, universal health care.
#9 - yanno neighbor even “universal health care” aint much of a stretch if we mandate competition - remove ALL state line rate barriers and we’ll have affordable health ins for the masses in less than a month - it IS just that simple - the challenge is finding someone with the COJONES to stand up and SAY it!
Hillary’s Plan will be to make you prove to employers that you have health insurance (through the government) in order to get a job! Then if you cannot prove you have health insurance through the government, you can fall back on socialist welfare. Either way, the government will take care of you, no matter what. Socialism/communism will rein here in America if she is elected. She is far more dangerous than her husband. She is something that should not be unleased upon the unsuspecting American people.
#9 dcgirl: George Bush will not be the Republican nominee for the 2008 election; Hillary is running and will likely be the Democrat nominee….
