Staunch defender of Canada’s single payer system, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier, Danny Williams needs heart surgery. Evidently, single payer is just fine for the peasants, but when a high ranking politician has to have life saving surgery, Canada’s magnificent health care system loses some of its luster.
King Danny is scheduled to have surgery in the United States later this week.
Canada’s socialized medicine scheme is working so smoothly that Canadian health agencies have had to negotiate contracts with hospitals in the United States to provide the care Canada’s system can’t offer. TheDetroit Free Pressreports that these lucrative agreements “provide more immediate services for patients whose health is at risk.”
“Three Windsor-area hospitals have arrangements with Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, to provide backup, after-hours angioplasty. Authorities will clear Detroit-Windsor Tunnel traffic for ambulances, if necessary. The Detroit Medical Center also provides Canadians complex trauma, cancer, neonatal and other care.”
Should the unthinkable happen, and congress manages to force Soros Care on the American people, where will we send our inevitable overflow?
“Canada’s U.S. backup care ’speaks volumes to why we don’t need government to take over health care,’ Scott Hagerstrom, the state director in Michigan for Americans for Prosperity, said of the Canadian arrangements with Michigan hospitals. ‘Their system doesn’t work if they have to send us their patients.’”
