“Why would you want to go to any other country? So who could blame the Newfoundland prime minister when he had a heart problem, for saying, I love you, Canada, you're my country, I love you and I am totally devoted, but I am flying to the United States for my heart surgery, which he did. He is a smart man, obviously. But you look at breast cancer, and I've been shown statistics that are not on here. For example, in breast cancer, if a tumor is found localized in a breast, then we have a 98 percent survival rate, 98 percent survival rate, if a cancerous tumor is found localized in the breast. In England, it's about 20 percent less than that. In other words, even though both countries have wonderful technology, when you have a government-run program, you have to put people on lists. And the President is right. He is not being disingenuous when he says we are not going to deny coverage. For the most part, that is right. What you do is you put them on lists so that they die before they get what they need. And I was talking to a really sweet secretary in Tyler, Texas, my hometown, and she has emigrated from England. And she told me that her mother got cancer in England and died of that cancer because she was in England.”
