Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) will travel to Canada in late January to get hernia surgery, related to the attack he sustained from a neighbor in 2017, according to the Louisville Courier Journal.

Notably, Paul is adamantly against socialized medicine and has called the idea of a national public health care system “slavery.” Canada enjoys publicly funded universal healthcare.

At the time of the attack, which was reportedly over lawn maintenance disputes, Paul also suffered six broken ribs and a bruised lung. Paul has sued for damages.

The very same Rand Paul who took Trump's secret note to hand deliver to Putin and came out with Putin's list of demands afterwards.

So let me get this straight-

The guy who votes routinely to let 40,000 Americans die every year only for lack of healthcare is himself flying to Canada to have surgery- which his U.S. congressional Healthcare plan will pay for- i.e. which the American Taxpayer pays for.

Incredible.
Only in Republikan Amerika.

P.S. Even as American Government Employees are going without pay and being furloughed, you and I are paying for Rand Paul's trip to see a Canadian doctor.

For Paul as a guy who has often publicly declared that "...the U.S. has the best healthcare system in the world", I think this is a bit of a reversal.
