Great Moments in Socialized Medicine "UFC [Ultimate Fighting Championship] heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar announced his 'miracle' recovery from a career-threatening digestive disease Wednesday while slamming the health care he received in Canada after falling sick during a hunting trip," the Canadian Press reports: The six-foot-four Lesnar, who has to cut weight to make the UFC heavyweight limit of 265 pounds, said he had been ailing for some time last year, before falling seriously ill during a trip to Canada. What had started as flu-like symptoms was upgraded to mononucleosis and then diverticulosis. Asked about the low point during the last few months of his illness, Lesnar said: "Probably the lowest moment was getting care from Canada." "They couldn't do nothing for me," he noted in a later media conference call Wednesday. "It was like I was in a Third World country." "I'm just stating the facts here and that's the facts," he continued. "I love Canada. I own property in Canada but if I had to choose between getting care in Canada or the United States, I definitely want to be in the United States. Canadians, don't get me wrong here. Listen I love Canada, some of the best people and best hunting in the world. I have family up there. But I wasn't at the right facility. And it makes sense for me to say that." Whether or not you care for Ultimate Fighting (we don't), it's a reminder of why we should be celebrating the demise of ObamaCare. That is hilarious.
