My school assignment from my classes required for Paramedic certification.

I get so tired of being compared to somewhere else. The US is a damn big place with huge variations from one place to another. "Hybrids/Electric cars work great in Japan!" Oh, that tiny country that has bullet trains from one end to the other? "Well, everything is wonderful in Europe." Oh, when you can drive through multiple European countries in a days drive, does it really compare? Visiting Europe and living there with their high taxes and crappy socialized healthcare, you probably won't feel the same way.

The US is a unique experiment based on the freedom of people to make their own destiny. Socialism ultimately fails everywhere. If you just want to be a taker and latch onto the teat of socialism, there are plenty of places you can go. Stop trying to change US.

My wife was born in Canada and had a Godmother that was elderly. She had cancer. They just wait listed her until she was dead. It happens and don't let anyone tell you it doesn't.

I seem to recall a Canadian government official flying to Florida for care...Found an article for it: Why Canadian premier seeks health care in U.S.

Crossing the Border for Care
Frustrated by long waits, some Canadians are heading to the U.S. for medical treatment.
