Natasha Richard did indeed turn down immediate help---and then she passed out. It took roughly three hours to drive her to get proper medical help. Most people in the United States are usually flown by helicopter in similar circumstances. This may have made all the difference. "...and numerous elective surgeries" A large number of Canadians require more than mere "elective surgeries." This is why they often travel to the United states. Canada is a second rate country when it comes to serious medical needs. Their American neighbors usually rank number one in the world. “She was offered to be taken to the hospital but refused.”

A large number of Canadians require more than mere “elective surgeries.” This is why they often travel to the United states. Canada is a second rate country when it comes to serious medical needs. Their American neighbors usually rank number one in the world.

Indeed. “You are another example of why we Americans love our border that seperates us from you.”

Indeed.

Natasha Richardson did not die in Vancouver. You are another example of why we Canadians love our border that seperates us from you. She was offered to be taken to the hospital but refused. We do not handcuff people and take them to hospital if they fall on the slopes. Tommy Douglas is the founder of Health Care in Canada. He was voted by Canadians as the greatest Canadian ever. Don't bash our system. I pay $70/mo. for health care insurance and go to my doctor's any time I want as often as I want and I never see a bill. I had emergency surgery 3 times, and numerous elective surgeries and I've never seen a bill. There is no debate in Canada about health care reform and the need to take on a more American style system because yours is pathetic. Your's such an idiot. You idiot.

They don't seem to give a damn that she likely died because of Canada's inferior medical care. Even her own husband Liam Neeson is disgracefully quiet. The hell with the death of his supposedly beloved wife. Providing continued support to the leftist agenda seems to be of far greater importance.
