Rand Paul Heads to Canada for Some Quality Medical Care

Here's a news flash:  Rand Paul is sick.  Seriously.

The erstwhile little Kentucky popinjay is apparently suffering with a hernia in need of repair, and instead of trusting his medical care to the same U.S. medical community that licensed both him and his father as physicians, Kentucky's junior senator is heading to Canada to get his treatment.  Paul, who like his daddy, former Texas Congressman Ron Paul, opposes all forms of socialism,  ironically feels that his own medical needs can be best met at a facility in Canada, a country steeped in socialized medical practices.

In fairness to Senator Showboat, he is seeking treatment at a private hospital which specializes in hernia repair, and he says that he will be paying for the procedure out of his own pocket.  It must be nice to have pockets deep enough to allow a person to shop for medical care on an international basis.  Is it any wonder that Senator Paul and his fellow rich Republicans seem to have almost no concern at all for the rest of America's ability to get medical care?

Senator Paul's hernia issue apparently developed as a result of an assault from his neighbor nearly two years ago when the man pulled Rand off of his riding lawnmower and proceeded to kick most of the crap out of him in a dispute over Paul's white-trash yard landscaping.  The crap that the neighbor failed to kick out of the senator has rejuvenated, and Senator Paul is once again full of crap.

With people like Rand Paul flying in over Canada's southern border, and Alaskans like the Palin family sneaking in across Canada's northern border on dog sleds for free medical treatment, the medical needs of the United States are slowly being met - by Canada!

In a related note, there was an abundance of news stories yesterday regarding Canadian air traffic controllers who have begun sending pizzas to their unpaid counterparts in the United States.  (Instead of ordering piles of fast food for his White House sports banquets, perhaps Trump could be routing that grub to the men and women who are keeping U.S. airports open and the planes in the air!)

Thank you, Canada, for your friendship and humanity - and please . . . please . . .  never build a wall across your southern border - or your northern one either!
