actually she had never travelled and had confidence in her doctors. where would she have travelled? By the time she understood she was dying it was simply too late.

"In Canada she was not allowed to get better treatment even if she paid it herself."

Itchy, YOU "knew" her doctors were inferior and incomptent, and the Canadian health care system is the terrible. Why did you let your friend DIE? YOU "knew" she could go to the USA and buy superior treatment.

You DO know that anecdotal evidence proves nothing, don't you? Out of the 50 million uninsured in the US I could find thousands of horror stories MUCH worse than yours. Of the insured, I could find thousands of stories of the misdiagnosed dying in our "superior" health care system.
