From an editorial in the February 26 edition of the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

Canadians who are not independently wealthy still struggle to raise the cash to avail themselves of superior medical care “south of the border” whenever they consider the problem serious enough. Why is that, if the Canadian system is so good that we should emulate it, as Barack Obama insists?

Medical innovation continues in the United States because it's profitable. Medical innovation has stagnated in Canada because it's not, and because the best doctors and researchers have fled to countries where they can still make money at their trade -- most notably, the United States.

If the United States adopts a Canadian-style, rationed, inferior medical system in which more people die while waiting in line, where will Americans go in pursuit of better care? Where will Canadians go? And won't that lead to precisely the “two-tiered” system -- better care for those with enough money to hop a plane -- that Democrats claim to oppose?

Or will they just refuse to let us leave?
