Fair Health Care

As promised, I am posting about things that get my blood pressure going.
So here is a start.

A 73 year old Quebec Man complains of chest pains while golfing, and gets by-pass surgery the next day.
A 41 year old Ontario Woman finds a lump in her breast, and gets treatment in California in a few short weeks.
A 32 year old Ontario man breaks his hand playing hockey on Saturday night, gets corrective surgery on Monday morning.
A 79 year old diabetic Woman from Ontario falls and suffers multiple broken bones, and waits more than a day for surgery to repair the breaks.

The difference?

The first was Jean Chretien.
The second, Belinda Stronach.
The third, Bryan McCabe of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The last, my Mother in Law, who has been lying in Hospital for, as of 1130pm Friday, Dec 21st, 33 painful hours.

Now tell me again we don't have a two-tiered health system.
