    I think that the solution really is outsourcing medicine in many cases. I'm a believer in medical tourism, and even explored working in the field as a "middle-man". Send people to Thailand and India for major surgery in Westernized facilities.


    Article seems poorly written though, must be the product of a Canadian education.

    In some ways, that's an indictment of how stupid the system in Canada is. People can just wander across the border and get free (or subsidized; it's not clear whether it was free or not) care?

    How would that sort of efficiency work for the US?

    Once I started running at the docks in Skagway. Thought I'd go for a little 8 mile run. Well... the city of Skagway is only about 1 mile or so... after that the road heads up Chilcoot pass towards... yeah... Canada. I am not shocked they didn't have a good Dr. there. They don't have anything there. Even now.

    Why is she still around? Don't the media get that she's dumb and has no clue what she's saying?

    great thread title that doesn't come close to accurately representing the article. though honestly it probably should have been expected.
