What do you think of when you imagine an American living in exile,
unable to return home?

This is a profile of two Americans living in Canada who can't return
to the US because they're unable to get health care. If you've seen
the "Shona Holmes" video, watch this too. Health care reform now!

Very well done and worth watching.



Just as sincere and worth watching, if not as slick:

This video was taped by an Amercian living in Canada to help disspell
the myth being perpetrated by political ads in the U.S. about how bad
the Canadian Health Care System is. This is false political advertising
to attempt to defeat the efforts in the U.S. Congress to pass universal
health care. The video is by William S. Bates. Major, USMC (Ret),
Vietnam veteran of Ottawa, Ontario and is intended to provide a true
picture of Canadian Health Care from a private user's perspective.


(He did have a reply to a comment saying he's a "fiscal conservative" and voted for Bush. It takes all kinds to get universal health care!)
