When given the option (in this case the “public option” of socialized healthcare) people will ultimately pursue the best care. In the case of the Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams, that means getting away from Canada’s socialized system to be cared for in the US, where we have a private system that provides the highest quality of care in the world.
Academics and liberals can argue all they want, the experience and preference of the American people has been conveyed through the polls, the election of Senator Scott Brown and the President’s approval rating. It seems that now even an elected Canadian is weighing in on the matter, and it’s a strong show of support for the private sector.
Here is a quick excerpt on the matter from Wisconsin Senate Candidate, Terrance Wall (Original National Post Story, Big Government covered it as well):
“There is only one place in the world where it’s safe to be sick and that’s right here in America,” Wall said, “It’s clear that if they had a choice, Canadians would rather have the health care we enjoy here and not the government controlled system Russ Feingold supports.”
Don’t forget Sen.Russ Feingold’s ultimate goal:

Most Canadians, 82%, think the Canadian health care system is superior to the American health care system. In fact, most Canadians, 55%, favor an expanded public role in the Canadian health care system and only 12% of Canadians favor an expanded private role in Canada’s system.
