Although, I've heard good things from Canadians going to the US for care...
It seems people would not get refused as this man did.

That seems like a freak case; Canada's system is plagued with extremely long wait times and in my opinion, that is a form of widespread refusal.

When Flink talked to Tracy Pierce, his cancer was attacking his body. Despite being fully insured, every treatment his doctors sought for him was denied by his insurance provider. First-Health Coventry deemed the treatments were either not a medical necessity or experimental.
"It's purely economical. You never see an insurance company try to block an inexpensive test," said William Soper.
What is going on is that some insurance companies deny even routine treatments because insurance companies treat their patients as costs, not as clients, Christopher said.
I am all for tax payer funded Government health insurance for all run by some bureacrat who decides what is a medical necessity or experimental, economical, and have to make decisions based on costs. Also if anything goes wrong good luck trying to sue.

If you have an HMO or most other private insurance, its really no different. Instead of a government goon deciding what's "necessary", you have a private company goon. I'd rather have the government goon, since he probably doesn't give a rat's ass whether the government spends extra money or not, whereas the private goon gets a bonus for denying claims.

You are correct about it being no different, but when something goes wrong you have recourse against the private goon but what about the government goon?
You're out of your mind. If you're 55 and need dialysis in the UK, they let you die, unless you can pay out of pocket. There's thousands of these cases per year.
