Canada’s Premier Williams Set To Have Heart Surgery In U.S. . . .

According to Anne at sayanythingblog.com:

Wait.. didn’t this guy listen to what Michael Moore said about Canada having a better health care system than the US?

ST. JOHN’S, N.L.—New foundland

Premier Danny Williams will undergo heart surgery later this week in the United States.

Deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale confirmed the treatment at a news conference Tuesday, but would not reveal the location of the operation or how it would be paid for.

“He has gone to a renowned expert in the procedure that he needs to have done,” said Ms. Dunderdale, who will become acting premier while Mr. Williams is away for three to 12 weeks.

“In consultation with his own doctors, he’s decided to go that route.”

Mr. Williams’ decision to leave Canada for the surgery has raised eyebrows over his apparent shunning of Canada’s health-care system.

“It was never an option offered to him to have this procedure done in this province,” said Ms. Dunderdale, refusing to answer whether the procedure could be done elsewhere in Canada.

What a hypocrite. . . .This Canadian Premier didn't want to wait-in-line or die waiting for treatment like most Canadians. . . .Why is he coming to America for medical treatment if Canada's government run healthcare system is so great? I'll tell you why. . . .because America has the best doctors, the best treatment and the best hospitals beyond anywhere else in the world.  If that socialized medicine is so great then why did Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi have his 2006 heart surgery at America's Cleveland clinic, instead of staying at home?

Where will these fatcats go if this leftist congress passes Obamacare? Let's just continue to fight and pray that it never happens. . . .
