my throat Dr. is an expatiate Canadian (an American cit.) who has told me that if they ever pass this POS he will leave the US. like he did Canada. The govt. stifles everything and allows for nothing. The reason he came to the US was to get his father CANCER treatments the govt. made his father put his name on a list for the proceedures.
