Rand Paul has called universal health care "slavery" because it would "conscript" doctors and their staff members to provide care.  Guess where Paul's having hernia surgery this month?  Shouldice Hernia Hospital in Ontario, Canada, a "world renowned hospital."  He'll pay cash, around $8,000, but that sounds like a deal to me, isn't that the cost of a hospital room around here?  The hospital is privately owned, but almost all of its work is done under contract with the Ontario government and it accepts Ontario's hospital insurance plan.  Aren't the republicans always talking about the poor care Canada provides because of universal health care?  I have a family member (by marriage) that always puts down Canada's health care too, he recently went up there for a test so he could save money.  Such hypocrites, the whole bunch of them.
