This is very interesting. I thought conservatives and Liberatards said Canada's healthcare was awful with long waiting lists.

I guess he likes how Canadians live longer than us and pay less for healthcare as measured by spending on healthcare as a percentage of GDP.

Culture, demographics, violence don't play a role in that, do they?

Nice details.

It might be for a procedure not approved by the FDA

Maybe it's a procedure that isn't approved in the US?

Liberatards?

That's almost as weak as thinking you're winning political points by thinking that an American going to a private Canadian hospital is somehow indicative of an argument in favor of the Canadian healthcare system.

The reason Canadians have average life spans longer than us is because the closest thing they have to culcha and illegals is eskimos

Maybe he’s going to the best Doctor for his condition?

Last I heard this is a Free Country.

I’ve read that he is going to Canada to make it more expensive for the lawsuit against his neighbor. The surgery is related to the injury from the assault. Don’t know if there is any truth to it, but I like the idea.

Shouldice Hernia Hospital markets itself as "the global leader in non-mesh hernia repair," according to the clinic's website.
If I had a hernia I would go anywhere that had non-mesh hernia repair. Research yourself if you don't know why.

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.
