America vs. Canada: "I can't go to the hospital..."

[Chakab]

15. There used to be a Canadian woman, whose name escapes me now,

whom the RWers would parade around on all of their shows to talk about the "horrors" of socialized HC in Canada. Her mother died of a treatable illness because she was misdiagnosed, and she blamed socialized medicine in general for her mother's death. I heard her do an interview on Thom Hartmann's radio show a few years back, and her claims were totally laughable. She also refused to respond to Hartmann's repeated questions about whether or not she actually believed that no patients were ever misdiagnosed in the US. I got the impression that she was just a shill who was exploiting her mother's death for profit.
