Just something to think about...
...the next time you're sitting waiting seven hours for a doctor in the local emergency room...
Van Thanh Nguyen came to Canada from Vietnam in 1988 as a permanent resident. But after a 1992 conviction for armed robbery, his status was pulled and he was ordered deported on Dec. 15, 1993.The federal government?
The deportation order was never carried out. Instead, Nguyen racked up another four criminal convictions.
In 1998, he received a kidney transplant that required him to take anti-rejection drugs. Nguyen also claims he is unable to work and is collecting provincial disability benefits and has his medication paid for by the province of Ontario.
In 1999, following his kidney transplant, the federal government suspended the deportation order against Nguyen.
Don't you mean Prime Minister Joseph Jacques Jean Chrétien?

My brother is currently battling colon cancer, and had to fight like hell to get some help with some medication (yes, he has private insurance, not like he can work right now, but it doesn't cover everything).
I'm glad that sex change operations are covered and not injections for blood clots. Priorities, right?

sorry to hear about your brother... an all too familiar story these days.
what's gonna happen as the aging baby boomers start to need more health care?
it ain't gonna be pretty.

And people wonder why I am opposed to welfare, and socialized medicine. Damn, this story enrages! Why have we not deported this piece of $*** yet?
Thanks Neo, but believe it or not, he's actually had tougher battles, and has actually been flatlined twice before, so he's not really worried when #3 rolls around. Been there, done that, seen the light.
He's still living on the rage that comes with being misdiagnosed with hemorrhoids for three months. Not to mention a two hour ambulance ride through a blizzard for a blood clot (normal ETA: 40 minutes), just to be told that due to the storm, he had to find his way back home. Two days after a double-hernia operation.
So, yeah, my limit for pity for Thugs for Life ('Nam Chapter) is pretty low.
