Now wait a second, why didn’t this boy fly to Cuba for this surgery? After all, Micheal Moore claimed in his movie their health care system is sooooo much better than ours!

Texan I was wondering the same thing. The reporter acted like it was something great that Canada and his home country raised money for this boys surgery. She barely mentioned how much the group in America gave. She said the doctors were going to do this boys surgery for free and the hospital was going to get paid. Why does our doctors continue to give away their services and then get criticized from people who say other countries have better health care? It seems when someone needs our help they expect it. I hope the boy does fine because if he doesnt those same doctors who were nice enough to do the surgery will be sued if something goes wrong.

So we get to pay for another free ride. Who is supporting the family during their stay in America??? I bet they will also not be sent home when this whole thing is over. Why come to the USA for medical treatment??? The liberal wack jobs think countries who have goverment funded health care are so much better then go to one of those countries. I pay 1000 a month for my family to have health insurance, and I get to pay for those who can’t or wont pay for their own. I am sick of supporting lazy people.
