And the liberals want our health care to be like Canda's?

Growing up overseas allowed me to meet some folks from other countries (duh). Some of our neighbors were from Canada, eh. I've been eavesdropping on a conversation one's been having because she needs speech therapy. Here's what she said:

"NS (Nova Scotia) won't see me because I live in NB (New Brunswick). FRUSTRATING"

Her mother replied: "You have been on the list for speech therapy in Saint John since 1967, things move so fast in NB."

So, let me get this right: If you live in one province and have a special need, you can't get looked at in another? So, if I broke my leg in Louisiana, I'd have to haul my busted ass back to Texas to get looked at? Or, worse, if I were on vacation in Virginia and had a seizure, there's nothing they could do?

Yeah, that's great. Bring me that socialized medicine. I want to wait 40 years to get looked at.
