According to Sarah Boesveld at theglobeandmail.com:
Newfoundland Premier says he did some soul searching before opting to have heart surgery in Florida
"This is my heart, it's my health, it's my choice."
With these words, Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams defended his decision to hop the border and go under the knife for heart surgery in Florida. . . .
. . . ."I have the utmost confidence in our health-care system, I certainly do," the 60-year-old said, perched on a leather chair in his condominium in Sarasota, Fla. "It's a bum rap for someone to turn around and say, 'Oh, Williams does not have confidence in his own health-care system because he has to leave the province.' "

How much "Choice" does a poor Canadian have to leave the country for much needed surgery? The poor have to wait for months just to see a specialist much less get the emergency surgery.
Take a good look at this America. . . .This is a look into our future if Obamacare passes. The rich and politicians will be able to pull strings and get their much needed care while you and I are forced to slowly die waiting for treatment.
