Without knowing the diagnosis, the procedure and availability of that procedure in Canada it is quite difficult to comment...

Whatever it is, it's "unavailable" in Newfoundland.

We do know that the advocates of nationalized health care and single payer hold up Canada as a shining example of what our health care system should be like.



If a member of the elites has this problem imaging the plight of a poor schulb without the power connections...

You need to qualify your comments do not understand "rightie double speak"... "elites"?? "schulb"???

Is Canada a shining example?? Who held it up and when was it done, don't come back with the expected dittohead answer....

Medical Center in Lewiston Maine is full of Canadians, down for some serious surgery.

Always remember, if you get something "FREE" it's free for a reason, it's no good.

Obama/Pelosi/Reid can shove their health care up their a$s, the people will never allow it to become law, not in it's present form, the people will take to the streets with their guns before they allow anybody like that Skanky Old Witch Pelosi to dictate to them their "health needs"

America is slowly turning into a Third World Country and we all know how they take care of people like Pelosi/Reid.

I think most people would rather wait and get what they need then not get it at all. lol
That's not exactly true. Socialized medicine works with rationing in mind. It's how they try to keep costs low. Also, IIRC France's system works with a combination of both public, and private care, or insurance. That system is also seeing problems with costs.

So how our health care system treats average, ordinary Americans is irrelevant; but what is relevant is how it treats rich, powerful people from Newfoundland?

He seems like a nice enough guy, I have no problem with him getting his surgery; but is it really sensible to focus our national health care policy on finding innovative ways to treat rich people from other countries?
