Are we talking general news or tech news? I have a hard time finding non-biased news sources. Oddly enough, 4chan is the best source of news I've found. These aren't bad either: https://lobste.rs/ https:/&#x

Never once have I heard of an American going to Canada for medical tourism. I live on the Ontario/NY border and have my whole life. I'm sorely disappointed in your arguments so far. Your stats support your point and are legitimate
