Subject: RE: BS: Unpopular Views of Obama Administration
As I told you, Sawzaw, we have Americans who come up to Canada for medical aid too. And they also go to France, Mexico, Cuba, Italy, all over the place for medical help they can't possibly get in the USA.

But you'll never hear about any of those people on your media, because your media are in denial just like the rest of you seem to be, and their main job is dispensing false propaganda to keep you that way.

There's a multi-billion dollar medical industry lobby group in your country that desperately seeks out the very, very few Canadians they can find who go to the USA for medical help and they publicize those few cases in your media....and they probably pay some of those Canadians a hefty bribe to give a testimonial about an incident like that one you posted. We don't do that in Canada because, frankly, we're not that insecure about our own situation that we feel we need to bribe anyone to prove to anyone else how good it is. But...we're still not near as good as France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Japan or Saudia Arabia...and I'm not a bit afraid to admit that. I KNOW Canada isn't number one in the medical field. Canadians face reality and aren't devastated by it. Americans seem unwilling to do that one simple thing, because they simply can't bear it, having been raised to believe they live in "the greatest country on Earth". Your country has a serious ego problem. It thinks it's "the best" at everything. It's not. Neither is any other country. We are all very good at some things, less good at other things.
