What CBS conveniently does not mention is that the clinic is private.
(And that the ONLY reason it exists is that it obtained a waiver when the “peope’s health care” was instituted in Canada.)
Think about that - one needs government permission to run a private health clinic there.
It was right in the first line:
“U.S. Sen. Rand Paul plans to undergo hernia surgery at a ***private*** hospital in Canada...”
Not only that but here is what the crapweasels at CBS have to say:
In choosing Shouldice, Paul will receive care in a country that offers its citizens a publicly funded, universal health care system that runs counter to Paul’s approach to American health care policy. Paul, who ran for president in 2016, touts private-market approaches for U.S. health care problems.
Well, of course the Canucks granted some waivers.
You think their Neo-aristocracy wanna deal with the unwashed rabble *that would be you and I* when they need medical care any more than our Neo-aristocracy would? You think their elites are just gonna take a number and wait in line like they expect the rest of their subjects to? Will ours, when they ram single payer down our throats and demand that we swallow and say thank you when they’re done?
You need government permission to do start any business in the USA...
