I didn't get the part about No Canada, Blame Canada, and I don't know what South Park is .... probably because I am too busy paying my high, high taxes to cover our universal health care !!! Do you know how much herceptin and chemo drugs costs??? I really am curious - I have no idea what the price tag would be, or how much a mastectomy costs. I had back surgery in 1991 and only had to pay for the little TV in my room. I think Canadians should know how expensive health care is, and then we wouldn't abuse the system so much.(Canadians go to a doctor for absolutely every little ache, pain, cough, sneeze, itch ) We just go and never give a thought to how much it costs.
