I found the story related by this woman disturbing, and even more
disturbing now that I know (thanks, Chris) that it was false, part of an
organized effort to block health care reform in the US by unfairly
disparaging the Canadian system.

I saw the "brain tumor" ad and immediately doubted its truth.
One of the problems in the US is that health-care reform has
become such an emotion-laden issue (like abortion, Communism,
terrorism) that there is almost no rational discussion.
The moment that someone mentions that there needs to be a better
system of providing health care to US citizens then a bunch of
people start screaming about Socialism and people dying for lack
of care.
Frankly, as a US citizen, the whole situation seems bizarre.
