Years ago, I interviewed a Canadian health-care broker whose job was helping his countrymen escape their own failing system.
When their “free” health care turned into “free to wait until you die,” he’d save his clients by routing them to doctors in the U.S. who’d accept cash and rescue their lives.
I asked him what advice he had for Americans. His answer terrified me.
“I hope the U.S. won’t do what we’ve done with health care,” he said. I thought his reasoning was that he didn’t want to see Americans suffer and die because of medical socialism. But that wasn’t it.
He said, “Because if you do, we’ll have nowhere to escape to.”
That stuck with me. We are Canada’s health care lifeboat.
Every bad system needs an escape hatch. Otherwise, you’re trapped.
God Bless Wyoming
Which brings me to the un-Colorado. Thank God for Wyoming.
