Danny Williams: Canadian Premier Goes to U.S. for Heart Surgery

What does this say about the Canadian health care system, and more importantly, the United States health care system?

From the National Post:

Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams will undergo heart surgery later this week in the United States.

Deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale confirmed the treatment at a news conference Tuesday, but would not reveal the location of the operation or how it would be paid for.

"He has gone to a renowned expert in the procedure that he needs to have done," said Ms. Dunderdale, who will become acting premier while Mr. Williams is away for three to 12 weeks.

"In consultation with his own doctors, he's decided to go that route."

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

"It was never an option offered to him to have this procedure done in this province," said Ms. Dunderdale, refusing to answer whether the procedure could be done elsewhere in Canada.

Obviously, Williams is choosing to come to the U.S. for treatment and rejecting the options available to him in Canada.

Where would Williams go for treatment if Obama and the Democrats have their way and destroy our health care system?
