Right. And rational people shoot themselves because they don't have health insurance. Sure.

If you're in constant pain, you might not act so rationally anymore. Anyway, here in Canada we believe even, or maybe especially, irrational people also deserve health care.

I can send her a bus ticket to Canada if you'd like.

True, and in that state of mind perhaps that WAS the rational thing to do.

Sorry, members only. Can't afford to take care of all the people the richest country in the world won't look after. There are more uninsured (or were I guess before Obama) in the US than residents in Canada.

Nah, she should have shot up a health insurance co's office to get free care in prison.
