Former PM Silvio Berlusconi came to Ohio for heart treatment. There is a reason.
>>The French system is the best in the world.<<
Funny, I seem to recall thousands (15 thousand?) of elderly French died from heat stroke a couple of years ago. So many died that the government had trouble finding air conditioned chambers to hold all the bodies.
And when Moore finally has his heart attack or stroke, he will seek the best aid money can by, not in Cuba or even France. It will be right here in the USA. Book it.
Castro’s doctors nearly killed him he had to fly in dovtord to save his life. Too bad he had doctors that would save him.
Doncha’ just hate it when the douche bags fly!/s
Free medical meant no orthopedic doctor to look at the ankle, a 1950's style plaster cast, and pick a pair of crutches the barrel. To top that the nurse tried to reuse a needle from another patient to give him a shot.
If you wanted a fiberglass cast and properly fit crutches that costs extra.
Don’t bet on this story appearing in the NY Slimes....
i’m not buying it
And those fawning Mooreons at Cannes continue to kiss his ass.
Docuganda? I love it.
>Furnish flew his father, who lives in Canada, to America for the fast, advanced quality care that he does not believe can be had elsewhere.<
Take note, America. Tonight you saw EVERY democratic candidate for president just salivating over the prospect of ruining our current healthcare system.
In Mark Steyn’s book he said there are more MRI machines in Philadelphia than in all of Canada. No wonder you don’t have to pay for it there, there is a good chance you don’t have access to what you need.
I concluded that politicians can't be trusted to run something. They are always interested in the hot issue of the day and will let something like a power plant or medical equipment go in favor of whatever is new and sexy. Also, they were all running around in chauffered limosines and paying themselves controversial salaries while services suffered. Give me free enterprise any day.
Years ago the Queen of Saudi Arabia came to Arizona for medical treatment and stayed for several months. Michael Moore is an idiot.
I like the term “crockumentary” to describe Moore’s cinema screeds.
I believed the cr@p about the wonderful European health care UNTIL I LIVED IN SWITZERLAND. True, more things are covered by insurance, and all that, but the care, oh my L-rd.
All of the hospitals except the American clinic had bathrooms DOWN THE HALLS, none in the patients’ rooms.
The doctors were like gods because they could not be sued, ever. One gynecologist had his patients strip in a dressing area, then parade NAKED through his wood paneled office to the examining room, WHILE DOC WAS SITTING AT HIS DESK.
They have never heard of paper privacy gowns there. Also no fresh paper covers for the examining tables, which often smelled heavily of the sweat from the previous patient. At one clinic you were supposed to put on a cloth gown you retrieved from a closet, and then return said gown back to the closet and back onto the hanger, ostensibly for the next patient. Ugh.
While I did have some wonderful doctors while there, I had some ghastly ones who got away with such terrible things that would never have allowed them to continue medical practice in the USA.
I never understood how Cuba could possibly have good medical care when they don’t even have soap. I could be wrong, but I always thought soap was a pre-requisite for quality medical care.
Years ago the Premier of the Province of Quebec, Robert Bourassa, had cancer and he immediately flew to the Mayo Clinic. Now, I wonder why he did that? Probably the same reason that his successor, Jacques Parizeau, educated his children at Oxford.
I won’t tell any more Elton John and Furnish jokes.
...and I know some good ones...
but, now have some respect for the man.
