Canadian Premier comes to United States for surgery

The National Post reports that Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams (pictured) will undergo heart surgery later this week in the United States.

Mr. Williams' decision to leave Canada for the surgery has raised eyebrows over his apparent shunning of Canada's health-care system.

Deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale said it was never an option offered to him to have this procedure done in Newfoundland.

She refused to answer whether the procedure could be done elsewhere in Canada where socialized medicine began about four decades ago.

Danny Williams is an avid proponent of Canada’s socialized medicine so why couldn’t he find adequate treatment in some other Canadian province? Is it because he doesn’t trust Canada’s socialized medicine?
