Where Will We Go?

From KOMO-TV News Seattle:

Some Canadian mothers forced to give birth in U.S.

SEATTLE -- A problem in Canada's hospitals is sending scores of pregnant women south of the border to have their babies.

Carri Ash of Chilliwack, B.C. was sent to the U.S. to have her baby after her water broke on Sunday, ten weeks ahead of schedule.

"And they came in and said 'you're going to Seattle,'" she said.

Ash's hospital couldn't handle the high-risk pregnancy. Doctors searched for another hospital bed, but even hospitals in Vancouver, B.C. didn't have a neo-natal bed.

"So two provinces didn't have enough room, so I have to go to another country," said Ash.

Ash was sent to Swedish Medical Center where, nurses told KOMO 4 News, five Canadian women have come to have their babies in the past six weeks. Some were even airlifted at up to $5,000 per flight.

And a woman from Calgary, B.C., one of the wealthiest cities in Canada, had to travel to Montana to give birth to her identical quadruplets.

So, when "Hillarycare" is enacted, will we have to go?

Another interesting thing about this is that each of those babies is now an American Citizen.

Yep. They will carry dual citizenship in Canada.

Silly, we will go to Cuba like Michael Moore showed us how to do. We just have to wait for Hillary to declare herself President for life (Purely in the intrests of the citizens mind you) get rid of opposition parties then set up free health care for all.
