Christine had 3 or 4 houses and a half million dollars in the bank. In Canada she was not allowed to get better treatment even if she paid it herself. Had she been a politician, or a sports figure, she would be alive today. She was only a citizen she had no right to treatment. Saying there is healthcare is one thing, But when you die because of the state of healthcare, that is another. Politicians in Canada regularly go to American Hospitals and they do it for a reason, the latest treatments, the best procedures and the finest drugs are available to them. We have people dying in canada because the government won't pay for the cure. We have people blinded by 3rd world medicine when better methods are used 20 miles away. One of my uncles is on dialysis, he spends six months in Florida on dialysis and 6 months here. he is always healthier when he comes up from florida than he is when he goes back. You would think that dialysis would be dialysis, but it isn't.
