Two patients went to the US for treatment of their brain tumors:
Lindsay McCreith, 66, of Newmarket and Shona Holmes, 43, of Waterdown filed a joint statement of claim yesterday against the province of Ontario. Both say their health suffered because they are denied the right to access care outside of Ontario’s “government-run monopolistic” health-care system. They want to be able to buy private health insurance.Ontario’s “monopoly” over essential health services and its delay in providing the services have left both patients to “endure significant financial, emotional and physical hardship to access such services in the United States,” states the claim .

Easily defensible. Just show them “Sicko” and both women should immediately feel remorse about not believing how superior their universal health care system is compared to the United States.
Maybe they want to marry a US citizen with Blue Shield.
