Canadian Official Chooses US Healthcare

Now this is a ringing endorsement of the single-payer, government-run health care system (Not).

Newfoundland-Labrador Premier Danny Williams needs heart surgery, but he will not be seeking his heart surgery at home, in Canada. Instead, he will come to the United States for his treatment.

CBC News confirmed Monday that Williams, 60, left the province earlier in the day and will have surgery later in the week. The premier's office provided few details, beyond confirming that he would have heart surgery and saying that it was not necessarily a routine procedure.

Newfoundland and Labrador deputy premier Kathy Dunderdale confirmed Tuesday that Premier Danny Williams is in the U.S. for heart surgery and could be off the job for up to 12 weeks.
