Default O/T: What's Next?

Nobody in Canada or other countries with "socialized" medicine goes

But maybe not for long, eh? New York Times, Monday September 22, 2008:

Besides, the 4,000 Canadian doctors and 6,000 nurses who've come here to
practice in the last ten years, plus the mandated 20% reduction in the
number of doctors graduating from medical schools, may well insure that an
increasing number, who would rather be bankrupt and alive, will come to the
US to get the "best medical care money can buy" ... and without having to
wait for it?

IOW, TINSTAAFL, eh?

I too, wish there was ... but the bright side for us, since there was no
guarantee issued granted with "life", is that it's the 21st century, not the
1st - 20th.
