Canadian Health care and the quads....


After listening to Rush today, I did some news searching on exactly why someone would come to the U.S. from Canada for the most important of all healthcare..... premature babies.

In one article on the widely popular story of the Canadian couple that came to the U.S. to have their quadruplets, the Great Falls Tribune (rather local for me) comes up with this...

"But on Friday, the couple came to Great Falls after searching unsuccessfully for a Canadian hospital that would have room to host four premature babies.

"They phoned all across Canada," J.P. said of the doctors at home. "They phoned down here and Dr. Key said they had space."

Karen Jepp was the fifth Alberta woman transferred to Benefis this year because of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit shortages in Canada."

No...... but seriously, all of Canada?
