Sarah is the freakin' Goddess! Amazing that, even at the age of six, she was able to determine what the healthcare needs of her family were. She coulda been a contenda! |

Apparently, her family thought Canadian health care wasn't too substandard. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Well, since she was born in '64, and national coverge was ratified in 1966 and they ceased using it by 1970, they must not have liked it too awful much. Or perhaps they moved. Besides - they lived near the border, and healthcare resources can be very scarce in the wilderness. It is not at all surprising they would go there. You really are rather pathological about Sarah. Perhaps you should see someone about that. |

Sort of like the horror expressed here awhile back when Obama mistakenly attributed his meeting Michelle to when she was in law school? Boy, I remember hay made over that one at TNCR. |

On a more serious note, I'm wondering how they were able to go to Canada for treatment. Its not like they allow health care refugees from the US, else there'd be hundreds of thousands of us there. |

Even in Saskatchewan, the first and only subsidized plan in Canada at that time, the government only paid 1/2 the bill. I suspect they charged US folks full rate. |
