I have a real hard time seeing the link between someone who dies 
because they can't afford medical care in the USA and the First 
Amendment of the Constitution.

>>Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, 
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of 
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to 
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. <<

I've heard that but have never ran into anyone who could confirm it 
'first hand', I have had Canadians scoff at the story. Can you prove it?
Say Gene, can you ask your family member in Canada if they know 
anyone who went to the US for medical they could not get in Canada? 
I'm not talking about cosmetic surgery but serious, life threatening 
medical care like heart surgery.
