OH Canada

Those on the Left love to berate our 'broken' health care system. They chafe when someone tries to tell them it is the best health care system in the world.

They try to convince us of the superiority of the Canadian system - the so-called 'single payer' model. You know, the one where the 'government' pays all the bills. Where everyone gets the care they need, when they need it. The one where there is no rationing, no long waits, no shortage of specialists who are experts at new and emerging curative procedures.

Well, a funny thing happened up there in our 51st state. As this article outlines, the Premier of one of their provinces (I guess like a big state) has developed a heart condition requiring surgery.

Can you guess, gentle reader, where in Canada he is going? Toronto? No. Montreal? No. Somewhere else in Canada? No.....

He is coming to the United Freaking States of America to get his life saving surgery!! Why is that? I mean, he is a powerful guy. Can you imagine Obama, or your governor, going to England for cancer treatment? Not hardly.

One can only imagine that a) there are no specialists capable of doing this surgery, or b) There is too long of a wait (in other words - he will die first), or c) The specialist is a French speaker and won't do the surgery for an English speaker. In any event - pack your backs honey, we are heading to the U S of A.

So, once again, American exceptionalism is on parade. Think those dumb asses in Washington who are still trying to cram ObamaCare down our throats are watching...Nah.
