This is one example of hundreds of thousands. Why did Canucks by the thousands come to the US for medical treatment if their system was so good? Quoting below from the "conservative" rag called the LA Times: Simon Conway rails against taxes, Congress and protesters. The recently naturalized citizen features apocryphal tales about the British healthcare system. Conway had an epiphany about healthcare, a pressing tea party issue, when his father was tangled in the British medical system while awaiting minor surgery. He was put on a waiting list and could not have the procedure for almost two years, until he was 77. He suffered a stroke on the operating table. "People talk about death panels. They absolutely exist, and frankly, it's what killed my dad," Conway said, repeating a statement he makes frequently on his program when criticizing President Obama's signature healthcare law. "These people are not evil; they're adhering to a budget," he said. "They didn't know my dad had a stroke till they tried to wake him up.Š If [the surgery] had happened much earlier, everybody has told me, almost certainly he would have made it. He shouldn't have died." After working in British journalism for 25 years, Conway found that the United States still beckoned. He planned to move here in 2002 to pursue a property management business in Florida. After Sept. 11, he pushed up his move, arriving just two months after the attacks. "I got here as fast as I could because it was my way of telling the terrorists, 'You're not messing with me,'" he said. It took seven years for Conway to obtain citizenship. During that span, he anchored a radio show about real estate in Orlando, but he rarely talked about real estate and instead discussed politics and current events. Soon, he was asked to fill in as a radio host at various stations around the country. Then came the job at WHO. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/27/nation/la-na-simon-conway-20111228 _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
