REASON # 1473 WHY NATIONAL HEALTHCARE IS A JOKE: CANADIAN MP HEADS TO U.S. FOR CANCER TREATMENT

And, of course, he's coming here because, spurred on by the free market (which rewards people grandly), our researchers have developed the best cancer treatments in the entire world:
Liberal MP Belinda Stronach, who is battling breast cancer, travelled to California last June for an operation that was recommended as part of her treatment, says a report.

Stronach's spokesman, Greg MacEachern, told the Toronto Star that the MP for Newmarket-Aurora had a "later-stage" operation in the U.S. after a Toronto doctor referred her.

"Belinda had one of her later-stage operations in California, after referral from her personal physicians in Toronto. Prior to this, Belinda had surgery and treatment in Toronto, and continues to receive follow-up treatment there," said MacEachern.

He said speed was not the reason why she went to California. Instead, MacEachern said the decision was made because the U.S. hospital was the best place to have it done due to the type of surgery required.
RELIAPUNDIT ADDS: She's reputedly a close AND I MEAN INTIMATELY CLOSE "friend" of Bill Clinton.
