Every system as big as Canada's health insurance program is going to have nightmare stories just like our private health care system has nightmare stories.

Moore's example is anecdotal, it is one person among millions. Whereas this article deals with a lot more than one and speaks to trends. |
Yeah, I'm sure there aren't any example in the U.S. private health care industry where as many as 40 people have been screwed over. So 40 people among millions shows a trend but 1 does not. What about 5 people, or 10 people?
The article basically claims that it is some horrible thing to have people sent to the U.S. for treatment payed for by Canada's health program. Why exactly is that a bad thing? People get sent to the Mayo clinic all the time for specialists when local services are inadequate in the U.S. Why shouldn't Canada take advantage of the fact that they border the country with the best medical facilities in the world?
