Her "spokesman" is a LIAR. She doesn't use the Canadian system "when needed", she didn't use it when she needed it. Doublespeak. Also, why bring her children into it?
Funny, this came out more than a month ago, and it caused not much more than a blurb. Guess the media really loves the much-vaunted socialized health care system, eh?
The rest of us can die in waiting rooms.

TheStar.com | Canada | Stronach travels to U.S. for cancer treatment
Belinda Stronach, the MP for Newmarket-Aurora and former cabinet minister, travelled outside Canada's health-care system to California for some of her breast cancer treatment earlier this year.
It is unusual for a federal politician to travel outside Canada for private medical treatment, especially given the hallowed status of the Canadian, publicly financed health-care system in the realm of political debate.
MacEachern stressed that Stronach's decision had nothing to do with her confidence – or lack of it – in Canada's cancer-treatment facilities or public health care.
"In fact, Belinda thinks very highly of the Canadian health-care system, and uses it when needed for herself and her children, as do all Canadians. As well, her family has clearly demonstrated that support," MacEachern said.Powered by ScribeFire.
"This was about a specific health-care procedure, unrelated to any views about the quality of Canadian health care, a decision based on medical advice and a referral from her Toronto physicians, and just one part of several areas of treatment. Belinda has nothing but praise for the community of health-care professionals in Toronto who supported and treated her throughout the last six months."
