I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Sure, its a first person anecdote. Then, again, aren't we all.

After awhile, a pile of anecdotes add up to a bunch of dead Canadians.

In the U.S. we understand there is "no such thing as a free lunch" when dealing with economics, it should not be hard to extend that philosophy to there is "no such thing as free medical care." Whatever we work on to improve our U.S. system, we have to make believe we are grown ups when we work out the details.

As the Canadian Supreme Court said - free medical coverage does not mean free access to a list.
