This is very interesting. I thought conservatives and Liberatards said Canada's healthcare was awful with long waiting lists.
Why don't you read your own article.... moron

Yeah the hospital gets most of its funding from the government. Plus, I thought Canada has an inferior healthcare system because it has socialized medicine.

Most Canadian hospitals are privately owned. This hospital is privately owned they get most of its revenue from the Ontario Government. They accept Ontario insurance and if you read the article they gets most of its funding from the government. Plus you would think Rand Paul would practice what he preaches. I guess he can't find healthcare in the US to suit his needs.
Pretty sure no reasonable person has ever claimed that the US has the absolute best doctor/surgeon in every single discipline known to medicine. Arguing that because someone is seeking out a specific surgeon in Canada that it means that the entire Canadian healthcare paradigm is superior is a level of obtuse that strains credulity.

But don't conservatives say Canada has an inferior healthcare system because it is socialist?

The hospital's website outlines payments it accepts, including cash, check or credit card for those patients, like Paul, who are not covered by Ontario's insurance plan or a provincial health insurance plan.
Kelsey Cooper, a spokeswoman for Paul, said the hospital is privately owned and people come from around the globe for their services.
“This is more fake news on a story that has been terribly reported from day one — this is a private, world renowned hospital separate from any system and people come from around the world to pay cash for their services,” Cooper said in an email to the Courier Journal.

One hospital or specialist doesn't determine the quality for an entire system.

You would think that Rand Paul of all people would live by his principles. I guess he believes that Canada has superior health care.
Depending on who he's going to see...
Libertarian principles say pay for the best value...if that guy is the best value, well there you go

Optics are amusing considering I've heard the Right wing talking point about Canadians coming to the U.S. for medical services.

Shouldice Hernia Hospital markets itself as "the global leader in non-mesh hernia repair," according to the clinic's website.

This has to be the lamest post ever. Rand will be paying out of pocket, so Canada’s socialist health system is not relevant. No one ever said there are no good doctors in Canada. It appears he found a specialist that he likes.
His healthcare his choice.

The idea that Rand Paul would go to Canada for surgery just to do this is pretty pathetic.
More pathetic than blindsiding your neighbor with a tackle and injuring his ribs while he is doing yard work?

Amazing in a free country you can choose where to get treatment unlike countries like the UK with socialized medicine that let kids die instead of trying a new procedure somewhere else

Causing a hernia is cool, getting the best treatment for a hernia is not cool.
