Greetings from Vancouver!
Wondering where I was were ya? Well, I’m hanging out with our neighbors to the north in Vancouver, Canada (eh?) on a mission to get a closer look at the Canadian health care system. We’ve got 6 Canadians who were denied treatment under their “public option,” and are willing to share their stories.
We will also be meeting with a medical broker who helps Canadians escape south to the states to get the care they need – in time – so they can live. The overall theme of the trip thus far has been, “don’t do what we did, then we won’t have any place to escape to!”
Here is some of the media coverage of our trip so far: Gateway Pundit has been live blogging the event on site here. The Washington Times wrote a piece focusing on the medical brokers necessary to keep average Canadians alive.
I’ll keep linking to new coverage as it appears. Keep checking back!
