I have a close friend who was just diagnosed with brain cancer and there was zero wait involved. I've had a broken arm, femur, pelvis. more stitches than you would believe and thyroid surgery. I never waited and I never paid a dime. If you are American, don't listen to these lies. The "Fox News" logo should have tipped you off right away. This is pathetic.

This is ridiculous. I'm Canadian - I broke a bone in my face and had surgery three days later without paying a cent. No wait, no issues.

I'm Canadian - have had cancer. The treatment was timely, effective and free. This story is pure bunk. But I guess Americans will believe anyone. If this is a typical news story in the US, then Americans are in trouble.  And if they believe what FOX news is telling you, Americans are doomed.

Lying cunt belongs in America, good riddance

my doctor found a cyst on my overy that had doubled in size and caused me alot of pain over a three week period - and had me in for a CT, biopsy, and diagnoised as benign and removed withen 2 months, i live in a small town with one hospital, and I am thank ful for my Canadian healthcare cause in the US to do that I would have likely lost my car and my house paying medical bills......

Shona Holmes underwent treatment for a Rathke's cleft cyst in the United States, and lied to the media that it was a brain tumor. she just wanted to jump the line (which btw includes ppl who actually have cancer). and she wen on further to sue ontario for the medical billlss.....

watch this vid "Shona Holmes isn't the only Canadian brain tumor survivor! "

shame on you Shona Holmes for your actions. you should be ashamed of yourself for putting down a system that would never do what you claimed they did. i hope you enjoyed your 15 minutes of fame because you made a complete ass of yourself. heavon forbid if you ever are diagnosed with a real brain tumor. Im embarressed for you because im a Canadian. and to go on fox news to tell your lies, unbelievable

If she had been talking about the benefits of the Canadian health care system, this Fox News lady would have been interrupting her, shouting over her and using these anecdotes as factual evidence. This woman was never going to die; she just didn't want to wait in line behind people who actually needed attention right away.

She had the tumor since she was like 2 years old, and that in 40 years it had grown like half-an-inch. She just wanted it out so she went to America and was paid by these fucking Americans paid her because America hates everyone

I doubt it, since it would be against their propaganda and lies to Americans.

I bet they played this one not long ago

What Will Government Run Health Care Actually Look Like

Shona was once again paid to lie to Americans by Americans for Prosperity which Patients Untied Now is part of.
