Elective or emergency? It's a good excuse to bow out without losing face.

Emergency

Good thing Sanders lives in the United States instead of one of the Socialist nations he loves to promote as being better than the United States; otherwise, he might have died waiting months to see a specialist and to have surgery...



This is why Canadians, for example, prefer coming to the US for medical care.

Why didn't he go to Cuba or Venezuela?

Why didn't he go to Cuba or Venezuela?

May have something to do with the fact that he was in the United States.

Not true.
More US citizens leave for medical treatment than others coming here.
The ONLY thing anyone comes here for with medical treatment is the very high end expertise.
Which most people in the US can't get or afford anyway.

There are waits in place with socialized medicine, only for routine things.
Emergencies get just as quick of treatment as in the US.
In fact, often faster since there is less paper work.

Good thing the Dems exempted themselves from Obamacare, huh?

True...
I know lots of broke lowlifes who make the trip to Wetbackville for cheap procedures. FUCK THAT SHIT.

It is silly to believe that forcing people to pay extra for health insurance to private, for profit companies, that add no medical services, could at all make health care better in the US.
Clearly get better medical service if the people hire the doctors and nurses directly instead of having them hired by for profit insurance and medical corporations, who add nothing to care except cost.

No one is exempt from ACA.

There is a huge medical tourism trade to places like India, Vietnam, etc., or organ transplants, plastic surgery, etc.
People go to France for pacemakers, etc.

Sanders is rich. If Cuba or Venezuela has better health care, he’d be there.

Medical Tourism

{...
Going Abroad for Medical Care
“Medical tourism” refers to traveling to another country for medical care. It’s estimated that thousands of US residents travel abroad for care each year. Many factors influence the decision to seek medical care overseas. Some people travel for care because treatment is cheaper in another country. Other medical tourists may be immigrants to the United States who prefer to return to their home country for health care. Still others may travel to receive a procedure or therapy not available in the United States. The most common procedures that people undergo on medical tourism trips include cosmetic surgery, dentistry, and heart surgery.

..and the fact that he knows / believes that crap he keeps pushing is good enough for the 'rubes', whom he doesn't care if they live or die, but not for him!

Last I heard, Venezuela didn't have FOOD...
