All I can say is that I am glad that me and my wife will never have to worry about this kind of problem
Marrying a Canadian for health care
A woman with incurable cancer is looking for that
right Canadian man:
Jeanne Sather, 52, posted a personal ad last week in her blog, The Assertive Cancer Patient, looking for a marriage-minded Canadian gent.
"If I moved [240 kilometres] north I wouldn't have to worry about medical care," said Sather, who has been battling breast cancer for nine years.
She pays $20,000 annually in medical costs, including insurance premiums. The treatment for her cancer, which has spread to her bones, costs $300,000 a year.
In her ad, she describes Mr. Right as 45 to 57 years old. "Cancer patient or survivor. Open-minded. Bit of a risk-taker. Warm hearted but not clinging. Bald OK."
