Susu's Hubby's trumpet blared forth "the number of uninsured Americans has been underestimated" and then he blunders onward trying to prove the exact opposite!?!?
   And just a mention of personal preference in regard to U.S. hospital treatment as compared to that in Canada. Driving north from Mexico thro' northern California,within sight of Mount Shasta, I discovered that was the probable victim of deep-vein thrombosis. I took a life-threatening risk [call me an idiot if it gives you glee---]and made all speed north to the ferry at Tsawassen, and made a beeline for the nearest Canadian hospital, where I spent one day intensive care, and six in recovery. The direct financial cost to me was nil. A foolish risk, perhaps, but it paid off, and I still had my life savings!
