Subject: Hi Mike
Enjoyed the movie. I felt it quick compelling and completely truthful. You Americans, really have major problems. I was watching I think, for the first time, that station called CNN, sorry don't like watching much American TV, there's really something wrong with it. One channel your watching people watching the pitfalls of a family and you Americans thrive on that. Next channel there's someone beating the crap out of someone else in some wrestling match, then there's COPS and other really weird stuff ya'll call entertainment. Yes, I'm in Canada, not much a fan of US TV, it's all a little messed up and then you wonder what's wrong with your kids. Where's homer? Sorry, had to say that, anyway, Senator Huckleberry was on denying making rude remarks about your weight and talking down about Canadian medical system. I wonder if he knows where Canada is as most US Senators believe we are South of Mexico. I've been battling Cancer for the last 18 years and not once did I ever have to stand in line for medical attention. I've had access to all the medical equipment that's necessary for my form of cancer and have to say that poor Senator is really out of touch with Reality.
The only complaints in this country about our medical system are people of a Conservative affiliation. Stands to reason. They are the only moaners. They don't like taxes, which pay generously for our medical system here and in other Countries around the World, as you found out, and when they need medical attention they wonder why they can't get it if they switched to the US system which most of them want. So for the majority of us Canadians, we turn a deaf ear to these idiots, send them to a corner and let them moan all they want. I wouldn't switch our system for an American system. It just wouldn't work here at all and YES, when Canadians travel to the USA for any reason and for any length of time, even for 1 hour, we ALWAYS, ALWAYS, buy Insurance. None of us from this Country want to be caught in any American hospital for anything. Keep up the great job, Mike. Maybe, someday, people like that Senator (Huckleberry or whatever it is) or any other Senator or for that matter, and possibly a President with no Geography background (you seem to have had many of those), may finally know, Canada is NOT south of Mexico and we're an easy going and great people as everyone else in the World knows (other than Americans, weird how that happens).
It seems most of the politicians that complain about other countries’ medical systems are the same ones that are being paid millions of dollars from the health care system that prevents Americans from becoming healthy again. Wow, you people are just so messed up down there. Must be because you’re all Capitalists living in a Capitalist country being told you live in a Democracy when you don't.
Anyways, Mr. Moore, take care.
