Define free.

The Slaves might disagree with you, but it was a great time to be a wealthy landowner, and not a great time for most others.

As far as the doobie part, not sure that's a positive, after all GWB used to snort coke like a hoover vacuum, and look how he turned out.

At least with a founder in office we might have socialized health care for all like we did for sailors in 1798.

got lucky...have several Windsor friends, one who worked for me here.....did all his medical services over here when he could....

In Canada there is a 7-9 month wait for MRI's. What does this mean to Canadian VHL patients? I know what it means to me. It means that if I need a routine MRI check-up to follow the tumors or masses I already have, I need to make my next MRI appointment the same week I get the results from my present MRI scan. This is the only way that I have a chance to be close to the top of the six month waiting list in Ottawa, Ontario, for an MRI. If you've put your annual screening off for any length of time and think that you can go into your doctors office and have an MRI in a relatively short amount of time, you may be in for a rude awakening. The only way I've managed to keep up my annual screening that has more than once alerted me to major problems is to keep on top of the MRI process at every turn.

one of many...just google waiting time MRI Canada, LOL

More than 7,000 people are waiting seven months and longer for all but emergency or urgent MRIs at the Ottawa Hospital. Across Ontario, the waiting list for an MRI is growing by almost 12,000 patients a year. Cancer patients are waiting months for a follow up MRI to see if their disease has responded to treatment. It's said that Ontario needs at least 80 more scanners to meet the current demand.

need surgery, well your fucked there too..................


Wait times for surgical treatment in Canada rose to an average of 18.2 weeks in 2010, the first increase since 2007, according to a report released Monday by the Fraser Institute.

The public-policy think-tank, in its report, Waiting Your Turn: Wait Times for Health Care in Canada, said wait times for surgical or other therapeutic procedures in 2010 were exceeded only by the 18.3-week delay recorded in 2007.

"We're seeing continued government rationing which is leading to longer wait times. Our current system is leaving Canadians without timely access to treatment," said Mark Rovere, the Fraser Institute's associate director of health policy and co-author of the 20th annual report.
