American Healthcare didn't kill Nerine Shatner

Oh, wait, they didn't feel the need to write articles like this when she died.

Uh, do you think it might be a semi-relevent fact that Canada's public healthcare system could even be considered as a factor?

The really ironic thing still has to come from talking to nurses [especially nurses! -ed] or public healthcare defenders. Asked if they are happy about how, say, Ed Stelmach or Rodney MacDonald or even Dalton McGuinty are running their provincial healthcare systems, you'll get near-universal condemnation. Of course, if you suggest maybe that they shouldn't run it and that Bill Gates or Richard Branson or Rupert Murdoch or Lee Kun-hee should take it over, you'll hear nothing but bitching!
