I took a Japanese lady to Niagara Falls general hospital because she wasn't feeling well. For $150 dollars they took her name address, blood pressure, and heart rate. For $150.00 more a Doctor came to see her 6 hours later as she sat waiting and prescribed an over the counter laxative. It took a translator, a driver, an escort and the lady herself 7 hours for her to be treated for constipation. It was a two minute examination. The place was dirty, the staff lethargic, and unmotivated, but very conscientious about refusing the insurance number she had purchased for use in Canada at the advice of her Canadian travel agent, and they told us that she could not be seen without cash up front. Even the worst American hospital will take your name before they ask for the money. And they wanted to pay almost no premium on US currency.... We got the other members of the tour to help out with Canada bucks....
As for the 89 day Canadian, I don't mind coming back to Canada every 2 or 3 moths and making sure that Canada pays my medical expenses. If the liberals can steal from Canadians, why shouldn't I, after all I have had to work to pay taxes for 40 years and even after being retired for 6 years they are still stealing every dime of my money they can.... I notice that paul's boats don't have anything more to do with Canada than the name Canada Steamships. registered in???? and paying taxes in????? and he decided I should pay taxes when he didn't!!!!!! only a liberal!!!!!!!!
