Isn’t is strange how people come from all over the World to have life-saving medical care in our disfunctional, crisis-ridden health care system.
I thought he already had the heart of a Texan.
And he came here for his medical care...
(I have to admit though, some of the most beautiful people in Europe are Polish, so maybe it might just be worth it.)
Shouldn’t he go to Cuba? Don’t they have a far superior healthcare system? That’s what Michael Moore says.
I was idealistic back then & he was a hero of mine. I grew up in the dominant Polish area in America. We called it Lil Warsaw in Chicago.
Back then Poland was known for educating doctors. wonder what happened there?
Privatisation by the back door
The health workers’ strike and the future of medical care in Poland ... medical care to 6%. Currently Poland has the second lowest level of health-care

Prayers for his health and a successful surgery.
Walesa, Thatcher, Reagan... those were the times.
Lucky guy, Texans have big hearts!
Prayers up
Perfectly said. Indeed he does.
God bless, & keep, the Polish people. A superior culture.
Prayers, and hopes, for this heroic Texan.
He was planning on going to Canada but was told the waiting list was 59 years.
Wish he’d stay and run for governor. :)

LOL!!! That would even be funnier if it weren’t so true!
It takes great big balls to do what he did.
I hope all goes well for him here.
I’m proud he’s coming to Texas.
Walesa came to Panna Maria, about 65 miles from San Antonio, for their 150th anniversary, it’s the first permanent Polish settlement in the US.
And hey, what is the Texas flag, but a Polish flag with the blue backround and the star added to it?
With rumors of him being in the Polish Underground in his youth and Jesuits being code breakers, one wonders what else went on to liberate Poland.
I still wonder if what Ford said to Carter in the debate about a free Poland was an Intel slip up on his part.....
I don't know the origin of the Texas flag, but the state has few Polish roots that I'm aware of.
Central Texas has quite a few ties to the Czechs and Germans, but I'd guess the Texas and Polish flags similarity is probably a coincidence.
There's no doubt that Texans have admiration for Poland and Lech Walesa. But everywhere, except San Francisco, Americans like strong men and hot chicks.
prayers for a great man.
