>Some have died in the U.S. because they have no money to pay. In the U.S. ambulances are diverted to hospitals handling uninsureds, possibly killing the patient in the process.

I hope you're not blaming United States for these death (if it's true). Doesn't this reveal some flaw in the Canadian Healthcare system?

Well at least the "rich" Canadian have somewhere to go for faster treatment. So I guess critically ill "poor" Canadians are doomed?

While this may or may not be true, no county hospitals will turn away a critically ill patient. Parkland Hospital, one the busiest hospitals in America, in Dallas will treat any critically ill patient, even illegal aliens.
