Canada’s health care system is so good, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams going to America for heart surgery
Whoa, Canada! If your single-payer health care system is so great, why then is Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams coming to America for heart surgery? According to the CBC, Williams’s office provided few details, beyond confirming that he would have heart surgery and saying that it was not necessarily a routine procedure.
Deputy Premier Kathy Dunderdale is scheduled to hold a news conference Tuesday morning.
She’s expected to provide more details about Williams’s condition, as well as how the provincial government will function during his absence.
CBC reporter David Cochrane said Williams appeared to be in good health recently. He described the premier as “fairly active,” playing pick-up hockey at least once a week when work permits.
