Canadian Premiere Goes To Miami For Heart Surgery

Steve McGough summed it up A LOT BETTER then I. Perfectly within his rights and I don’t blame him one bit. Canada proposed ripping open his chest and breaking multiple bones, where a Miami expert was able to complete the same surgery in a less evasive manner using an incision under his arm.

I’ve also heard the same story when a friend needed work on his ticker. His heart attack experience was in the states where he was stabilized and he had the option to go home and get ripped open or have a less evasive procedure here in the states.

Reminds me of a movie ... Evasion of the Body Snatchers.

FWIW, it's “Premier” — just two e’s. Canadian premieres are often held at the Cineplex.

So when Obama and the Republicrats screw up our health care system, where will the Canadians go?

The US elites would never approve a single payer system. They will force everyone to have healt insurance, but then allow a private system for the rich and famous to continue to operate.

I assume it’s just a stopover on his way to Cuba.

Just seems strange that the MSM has little to say about this.

Another story missed by the MSM?

Doesn’t support the “crisis” so it doesn’t get coverage.

According to the liberals, Uruguay has a “superior” healthcare system than the U.S.

While they were at it, they should have checked the guy for stones. I’ll bet the results would have been negative.

I personally would be ashamed to have a leader of my government effectively ADMIT that the available people in my country were inferior to those in other countries, even if it was true. What a fine example of a Canadian leader. I’m sure he won’t be re-elected, but hey, “he got his”!

I agree! The nerve of this man! Typical socialist politician with a let-them-eat-cake attitude. I can’t believe Candadians put up with this.

Canadian healthcare for whales failed...

Whale that killed trainer brought to US from Canada after SeaWorld said it needed care

Documents show SeaWorld asked federal marine officials for permission to temporarily house Tilikum in Orlando several months later because he needed medical care he couldn’t get in Canada.
