Canadian Health Care
Be careful what you wish for...
Quotes from an article by Lisa Priest in Canada's Globe & Mail:
"At that point, in October, 2006, her condition was worsening - so she tapped her savings and went to the U.S.
After the surgery, she tried to get into the cancer system in Windsor, this time for chemotherapy. In November, she was told there was a six-week wait for chemotherapy, and she ended up getting chemo in the U.S. as well."
"Her husband, Adriaan de Vries, an IT systems engineer, said they had no choice but to go to the U.S. 'Nobody was in charge,' he said, 'and nobody really cared.'"
