Socialized medicine...
In the time she sat there in agony she could have driven to the Houlton ME Regional Hospital, in US and been seen in less than an hour.
Another casualty of the illegal invasion that will never be acknowledged.
May she rest in peace.
Should have went to Robert Wood Johnson or St. Peters. RWJ has an excellent ER. I was only there 2 summers ago.
This can’t be true. Canada’s healthcare is stellar. Just ask a y Democrat.
Her appendix probably burst!!!
that happened to someone we know in canada- darn near died-

That’s the bottom line. Rick Harrison - of Pawn Stars fame - said that socialism is like heroin. It feels good at first. But it will eventually kill you. This sad story is more evidence that Harrison is right.
As for me, if that poor woman was a relative of mine, I would want to talk to the ER administrator. No, wait. My Louisville Slugger would want to talk to the ER administrator.
Socialized medicine: bad care for everyone.
But I thought Oh-Bummer-Care would....
What if she had just left and called an ambulance?
Socialized medicine ...
Obamacare, Ocasiocare, Democratcare, Berniecare,
all mean keep a closet full of Jack Daniels whiskey to numb the pain.
I took my wife to the ER here in Northern California this afternoon. She has been suffering with what has turned out to be viral infection which has nearly incapacitated her. She was seen within ten minutes of our arrival. Within 10 additional minutes she had had an evaluation by one of the ER doctors. That was followed within 30 minutes with, a chest X-ray, an EKG, a blood draw (including a scan for flu), an IV, and an Albuteral infusion. Everything was negative, so she was sent home with an Albuteral inhaler. All of that within an hour and a half! I won’t name the hospital, but they have even started the process of getting her a local PCP, since hers recently retired and she had been seeing a PCP at Stanford Hospital which is 50 miles distant., and they are supurb! BTW, she’s feeling a whole lot better and its been only about four hours. Canada should be ashamed of its “healthcare system.” They are freeloading here in the United States because we have the capacity to see their citizens, while they do not. Isn’t Socialism great! Not!
As I read the article, I was wondering who was doing the overcrowding, Canadian citizens or recent arrivals. Don't think it ever said, naturally.
Socialized medicine: bad care for everyone.
...
Except for politicians and their closest donors.
When I travel around the USA, I get “Americans” saying how nice it must be to have free healthcare. I tell them I’d trade them in a heartbeat. My healthcare is far more costly than theirs with sub standard treatment.
ah yes, the condensed blessings of socialized medicine
Houlton is a good hospital too.
A few years ago I visited British Columbia's official Provincial health authority website.Among other things that website said that in BC a patient can wait for as much one year for at least one type of *heart* operation.
Just sayin'...
