Canada's wonderful health care system: "Sorry if you die before we see you!"

There are those in America that think it would be just peachy if we had "free" health care like Canada does. The problem (and it's well documented) is that patients have to wait forever to see doctors. It seems that with health care being "free", anyone can go see a doctor if a fart gets stuck crosswise in their ass.

Check this out (full article here):
A letter from the Moncton Hospital to a New Brunswick heart patient in need of an electrocardiogram said the appointment would be in three months. It added: "If the person named on this computer-generated letter is deceased, please accept our sincere apologies."
Hey, that's sweet! "Sorry if you died waiting on us to get around to helping you...sucks for you!"
