CNN just aired the lying Shona Holmes ad about Canada's health care system again!

[glarius]

The ad Shona Holmes did for American right wingers was based on a lie. This ad, where Shona says she would have died in Canada with a brain cancer because the government wouldn't allow her timely treatment is a bald-faced lie.. In the first place she didn't have a brain tumor!. What she had (and the reason why she was given a few months to wait in Canada) was a condition called Rathke's Cleft Cyst, on her pituitary gland. "Rathke's Cleft Cysts are not true tumors or neoplasms; instead they are benign cysts." The medical community in Ontario, where she lives, knew this and scheduled other, urgent cases ahead of her for surgery....which is quite reasonable.
Not only was this TV ad played all over the U.S.A., but she has been interviewed on Fox TV and other places, spewing her lies.
I wonder how many Americans have seen this lying ad and believed it.
Since she was unmasked in Canada, as a liar, we have seen nothing more of her....but apparently the anti health care people in the U.S.A. have dug her up again!
P.S....At the present time I am going through some health problems and thank God I am receiving great care and I don't have to worry about bills!

1. I think Canadians should do a response u tube ad and share it widely

2. Seriously? They're showing it again after she was exposed as a liar?

As a Canadian:

:puke:

3. Unfortunately, it's legal to lie on American TV

Fox News went to court to ensure that right.

Why are they even regurgitating this nonsense? The health insurance reform bill passed.

4. Get real

You think people should accept the word of some doctors spouting complicated medical stuff over that of a woman in a TV commercial paid for by the American health insurance industry?

You haven't been around this rodeo very long, have you mister?

Shona is now probably one of the most trusted names in brain surgery.
