If you have never lived in Canada and needed health care you have no right to put the health care down.

Every month I get a shot in the eye for wet macular - I have just returned from a Christmas cruise where I was fortunate to meet one of the foremost Retina specialists in Canada, he is just across the border from Detroit. I have the best insurance you can buy and yet my eye shot is Avastin at $50 a shot, the Canadian specialist uses Lucentis which costs $1,800 per shot and the Canadian Govt. allows it under their health care!

It is one of my pet peeves that people sound off about something they know nothing about.
I have a good friend that moved here from Canada and became a citizen because he couldn't get the treatment he needed.
