Not a bad slogan for healthcare, eh? Well, it expressed the sentiments of the Premier of Newfoundland/Labrador defending his decision to come to the U.S. for his own heart surgery after being told by his Canadian doctors that they would have to crack his chest to fix the problem. A cardiac surgeon at Miami's Mount Sinai Medical Center said that wasn't necessary at all and went in under his arm with a minimally invasive procedure and took care of business. He was roasted by the Canadian press on his return and made all the obligatory noises about the "fine" healthcare in Canada, but he gave himself away when he said:
" 'This was my heart, my choice and my health,' Williams said late Monday from his condominium in Sarasota, Fla. 'I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics.'"
No, like most politicians, including those currently pumping healthcare "reform" in Washington, D.C. at the moment, they get the best care and leave the droppings for us poor huddled masses. 85% of Americans think they are getting quality healthcare. How about we leave it that way and let the Canadians figure out ways to get around their system?
