Thank God he didn’t kick a cat in it’s ass. He may have gotten 2 years!

In a private hospital that specializes in this surgery. The essence of free market

Because this private hospital and surgeons specialize in this surgery. They are the best. That’s what a free market is about

I suspect that $5000 to $8000 would be rather inexpensive for a hernia operation in the states.

I'd say that here it would be astronomical.

And what gives with the measly sentence for attempted murder. Paul's injuries were terrible and he has suffered horribly, as his wife explained after enduring the worst beside him.

I hope the surgery is as successful as possible, as soon as possible.

I had double Inguinal hernia and navel hernia repaired 25+ years ago. The mesh they used is not the ones than are screwed up and having recalls now.
No problems so far.

The thing involves general anesthetic and a surgeon. You thing it can be done for under $2000 in the states?

I support him on this.

Canada won’t have someone with a personal desire to “off” a US senator, it’s a cash transaction, and doctor’s records will stay private.

Makes a lot of sense.

I was hoping he was healed now.

I was disappointed to find he is having long lasting effects from the attack but I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise as the attack was life threatening.

It’s a disgrace that his attacker only got 30 days.

30 days is too light a sentence.

This probably could have been avoided if Rand Paul had a wall along his property.

wiki:

The facility was the subject of a 1983 business case by the Harvard Business School.[1] Written by James Heskett, the report is the school’s fourth-best-selling business case, selling over 259,000 copies.[1] The case study focuses on Shouldice’s unique three-day hernia repair process.[1] The popularity of the business case is responsible for the hospital’s process becoming known outside of Canada.[1]

It’s never good when you are a notable Republic or conservative and you’re alone with many Democrats.

I do NOT think it could be done for anything nearly as low as that in the US. That was my point.
