On Facebook a discussion as well ...I ( from the province of British Columbia ) plan to write the N.S. policy makers via e-mail , incl picture of the " OUTRAGE " t-shirt ( shirt : thanks to Manny :)

I'm so sorry. This is what scares me so much about the Health Care Reform that is being debated within in the US. And the politicians in the states are talking about how much Canadians love their Healthcare system.
