Where will Canadians go if we also have socialized medicine, and where will WE go?

Parents separated from baby after transfer to US hospital because they lack passports

A critically-ill premature-born baby from Hamilton is all alone in a Buffalo, N.Y., hospital after she was turned away for treatment at local facility and transferred across the border without her parents, who don’t have passports.

Ava Stinson was born Thursday at St. Joseph’s Hospital, 14 weeks premature.
A provincewide search for an open neonatal intensive care unit bed came up empty, leaving no choice but to send the two pound, four ounce baby to Buffalo.

Her parents Natalie Paquette and Richard Stinson couldn’t follow their child because as of June 1, a passport is required to cross the border into the United States.

They’re having to approve medical procedures over the phone and are terrified something will happen to their baby before they get there.

I guess Obama didn't look right in our own country at MASSACHUSETTS universal healthcare - more money, less service, long lines!

I wonder how those who want Obamacare will respond to this?
