(4,396 posts)Even if it gets america closer to the Canadian universal care. He knows how it works since he saw it working with my husband and our son diagnosed two months apart with cancer. Husband had nonhodgekin's lymphoma and our son glioblastma multiform brain tumour. No waiting for anything, they got everything . son had same tumour as ted Kennedy. My son lived longer than Kennedy. Alas they both died . son in 18 months and husband 18 months after him. Govt gave me $2300 for each of them toward funeral expenses. Cost of all their doctor, lab, hospital, palliative care, operations, chemo, radiation, counseling for all the family was ZERO.
My brother's daughter of two young girls works for martin loughheed and her husband for ups. She hates obama . she told me she didn't want to pay for any one else's health care, no matter how poor or desperate they are. My brother says those people can get health care at emergency room. He told me once he thought Hannity should be President. And that it would not bother him at all is Obama died.
I no longer communicate with him.
All the Canadians I know are thankful we have our health care and are not like america.
