LMAO!
The establishment of the Medical Care Act of 1966 allowed each province to set up their own "universal health care" programs, much like the states are free in America to do whatever they want regarding this sort of thing. The key word being allowed. (not required)
It wasn’t until the 1970's that Canada had any sort of nationwide "universal care" and it only covered in-hospital care. Doctor visits and other services weren’t covered.
It wasn’t until the Health Care Act of 1984 that Canada had what has come to be known as socialized medicine.
So Sarah and her family never "benefited" from "socialized medicine." On the contrary, they received the same kind of care we get here in America.
The news media has become a joke, really....

Certain provinces were set up to have health care paid by the federal government in the late 50's early 60's. it all depends where she went really. Saskatchewan was the first in the 50s, in the 70's, there was more than hospital visits covered in Ontario. If she would of been in alaska, she would of most likely went to the yukon or BC.
