Yeah you just head down to the local ER and they have to see you. If you can't afford to get there, you call 911 and they send an ambulance, no ambulance service is going to take the liability of refusing to transport you for fear of being sued. Doctors don't run our health system, lawyers do.

"Canada's total oil production (including all liquids) was 3.1 million barrels per day (bbl/d) in 2004."
"Canada sends over 99% of its crude oil exports to the U.S., and the country is one of the most important sources of U.S. oil imports. During the first eleven months of 2004, Canada exported 1.62 million bbl/d of crude oil to the U.S., the single-largest component of U.S. crude oil imports. Canada also sent some 500,000 bbl/d of petroleum products to the U.S. during this period, the most from a single country"
