Indeed,  the numbers                         found are so small as to be barely detectible  relative to the use of care by Canadians at home.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phantoms In The Snow: Canadians\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Use Of Health Care Services In The United States.
