Senate Democrats are "likely" to give anti-gun Surgeon General nominee Vivek Murthy a confirmation vote before they lose control of the Senate at year's end.
This gives departing Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) an opportunity to poke midterm voters in the eye for supporting pro-gun GOP candidates over Democrats.
According to Politico, a senior Democrat aide says Murthy "is likely to get a vote before Democrats hand control of the chamber to Republicans in January." In one way, he has his best chance for confirmation now because Democrat rule changes allowing confirmation by a simple majority are still in place. In another way, his confirmation is a long shot "due to queasiness among Republicans and moderate Democrats about Murthy's positions on guns."

I have read about medical tourism. The wait time in Canada is horrendous and costs in the US too high for non-residents (unless you are latino, of course). So Canadians go to India (for example) to get surgeries (mostly cataract, knee and hip type repairs), then do sight seeing while recovering.
But they are very useful in eliminating some diseases.

“Senate Democrats are “likely” to give anti-gun Surgeon General nominee Vivek Murthy a confirmation vote before they lose control of the Senate at year’s end.”
I don’t have a problem with that; tell the fascist ape that if she threatens our 2nd amendment, she will be removed.
