American Female Seeking Canadian Male for Health Benefits

From LiveLeak: "Seattle cancer patient wants to marry into Canada's health-care system.

Jeanne Sather, 52, posted an ad last week on her blog, the Assertive Cancer Patient, looking for a marriage-minded Canadian man.

"If I moved 150 miles north I wouldn't have to worry about medical care," said Sather, who has been battling breast cancer for nine years.

She pays $20,000 annually in medical costs, including insurance premiums. The treatment for her cancer, which has spread to her bones, costs $300,000 a year.

In her ad, she describes Mr. Right as 45 to 57 years old. "Cancer patient or survivor. Open-minded. Bit of a risk-taker. Warm hearted but not clinging. Bald OK."

While she has received plenty of e-mails of support and encouragement, she's still waiting for a reply from Mr. Right.

Sather knows it's not going to be easy.

"I have incurable cancer, I know that. It'll take a really exceptional man to live with that and enjoy life with me and not be overwhelmed."

But she said she also has a lot to offer.

"I'm a lot of fun. I'm very smart."

She describes herself as assertive and adventurous and into animals, gardening, the beach, books and travel.

Sather said she's not looking purely for a marriage of convenience. She has to fall in love with the guy, too.

The free health care isn't the only draw either.

"I love Vancouver," said Sather, who has visited the city several times and sings the praises of its Chinese and Japanese restaurants.

"It's much better than [Seattle]. How can this be?""
