Sauce For Your Goose

Did you hear the one about the provincial Premier in Canada, land of the potential model for US healthcare reform, that came to the US when he needed some surgery? Here's the whole story:

My Heart, My Health, My Life, Poor You

See, that's the way it works. The state provides healthcare for the people as regulated by the government. It is the "best" at least when it come to you peons. Now if that means the cheapest way into the heart is by ripping through your ribs and sternum the way they used to do it thirty years ago, then so be it. But, if the tall dog in the province needs a little tune-up, they do it where the diagnostics are up-to-date and modern.

Is that just a bit hypocritical? Sort of like the current machinations of the US Congress?
