It's not exactly a ringing endorsement of the Canadian health care system when one of the country's ruling class chooses to come to the US for surgery in lieu of waiting in line with the common folk. It's nothing new for the elite to play by a different set of rules, especially when they have means and resources to which the masses do not have access. In Premier Williams' own words:
"This was my heart, my choice and my health."
"I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics."
Perhaps we should think twice about which health care systems we wish to emulate when those with access to "free" health care would rather pay to come to the US for it.
