The USA is still touting Danny Williams as the poster boy for private health care while questioning the Canadian system.
When a candidate for the Alberta PC leadership needs help - Danny is called in to rally the population - our people.
Two of these points make clear that the Dunderdale/Williams teams were less than successful in reversing outmigration and bettering our health care system.
Opposing view: Despite flaws, U.S. health care the best...
Similarly, when Canadian Human Resources Minister Belinda Stronach needed treatment for breast cancer, she had it done at a California hospital. And, when then-Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams needed to have a leaky heart valve repaired, he had it done at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Florida.
These high-profile patients were following in the footsteps of tens of thousands of patients from around the world who come to the United States for treatment every year.
Former Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams traveled to Fort McMurray this week to support Alberta PC leadership candidate Gary Mar and to give the candidate a boost in support from Newfoundland’s diaspora in the northern Alberta community.
The retired Newfoundland Premier’s support may be one of the former Calgary MLAs most significant endorsement in northern Alberta…
Don’t you love the word diaspora?
Historically: the dispersion of the Jews after the Babylonian and Roman conquests of Palestine.
Currently: Newfoundlanders and Labradorians fleeing their homeland for work. Or the scattering of our people after the Canadian conquest with the help of our useless politicians.

I just spent a couple of weeks in the U.S and spoke with several Americans about their system. It is far from perfect and certainly not available for many working people or the marginally poor.
It is anathema to me that any enlightened country should have the gall to deny basic medical care to its citizens.
I do believe that our system if far from perfect and we should not be taking it for granted but, better that than to for any citizen to be denied medical coverage.
