  • Glenn Beck thinks Dany Williams is Canada's PM.... how hard is it to research this stuff??

  • He's not the Premier of Canada, he's th, the e Premier of Newfoundland (well he was, not anymore). Provinces have Premiers , the country has a prime minister

  • The story was spun out of context. The Premier went to the USA because the procedure which was developed by Canadians was applied to several patients in the USA by one particular doctor. The Premier simply wanted somebody who has experience. I can understand that. It wasnt about waiting too long. Also, all the medical opinions stated that it wasnt urgent. He booked an appointment with a surgeon experienced in this Canadian innovation.

  • WOWWWWW premier of canada...hahahahahahahahaha, u dumb hick, god you are ignorant.

  • Premier of Canda? try Newfoundland you retard, probably a good I idea to get your facts straight before you embarrase ur self infront of the world again. By the way I am a canadian living in ontario, iv had 4 or 5 heart surgeries in my life time and I am 19 years old (some of which were done within days of my birth), iv never had to wait for a surgery here and I have complete trust in our doctors and health care system.

  • Glen Beck is a total asshole!

  • well actually cuba is behind us in health care they are 39th we are at 37th

  • Hes Newfoundlands premier not canada's premier , Plus he is rich so he is doing what all rich jerks do and jumps the Que

  • America would be better at medicine if the gave "everyone" health insurance, like they do in Canada and the UK.

    If they did, I would have found out that I had a heart problem before it was too late, and I wouldn't have had a heart attack and a quadruple bypass.

    Thank god I survived, most American's in my situation, never made it to the hospital in time.

  • There is nothing wrong with our doctors!!!!!!! It's the ASSHOLE politicians that cut health care and fund oil sands that ARE THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • Also, it's pronounced prEmier, not premiEr

  • LOL "Premier of Canada"? What an idiot.

  • It's unbelievable the amount of misinformation regarding this story and about Canadian healthcare in general.

    And by the way, Canada has 35 million people and the US has 250 million people. Canada won 14 gold medals and the US won 9. I think the stats speak for themselves. Out of 250 million people you can't win more gold medals than Canada and you can't even have a healthcare system as good as Canada's! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  • Actually there are like 330 million in the States and only 33 million here. And I think they are going to make a new national holiday because that idiot Williams went there for his surgery. I hope he never gets reelected

  • Premier of Canada?

  • i lol'd too

    im canadian but whateva

  • This is the same mentality as our "elite". Good enough for you but not for me . I think when Clinton got sick they should have made him wait behind everyone else and given healthcare as if we had socialized medicine to see how he liked it. I bet he would be alive right now if that were the case.

  • And what frustrates me the most (and remember, I'm not even American!!), is that the blue collar guy living across the road from the hospital, who's contributed to the US' society his entire life, needs the same surgery, but can't because he can't afford it. Meanwhile, wealthy foreigners benefit from this "flawless" infrastructure of a health care system... Keeps in mind, once Williams' surgery is over he'll never be back in this community, he's paid and gone! And the doctors fill their pockets

  • I just remembered why I love being Canadian. Unbelievable... political commentators like Glenn Beck wouldn't last a week in Canada, or anywhere else in the world. Like the saying says, "Only in America". And it really is too bad because the majority of Americans don't have this mindset, they're actually quite aware.

  • The first five words he said i had to pause the video and call in my girl from the other room and said you got to hear this!! The scary part is this Douchebag is feeding the American public and their taking all this in not knowing the difference! I don't know who's worse this guy or Ann Coulter!!! Smarten up America and get this Jackass off the air or your nation will always be though of as a bunch of Dumb Americans!

  • Hey Canadians---

    How's that Olympic Medal Count looking? How could you lose in HOCKEY to us "Dumb Americans?

    Seriously...Hockey too?

  • And what Channel did you watch the game on because the last i heard NBC didn't even air the game instead they aired ICE DANCEING and then aired it on MSNBC in standard definition and on a time delay. NICE!!!! what a bunch of dumb Americans!!

  • Ummm...

    How is channel selection even remotely related to the fact your Hockey team choked?

    What IS that Medal count anyway?

    Hey, 10 is good...you should be proud just for trying. It's cute.

  • Whatever I really don't even care about hockey and all that shit. On a serious note though during the closing ceremonies of the Olympics Tom Brokaw got a special on NBC about a small town in Canada and how the population of the town doubled when 911 happened. I can't wait to see it I'm from that town. Check it out and write me back and tell me what you thinks! NEWFIE8

  • My God Beck is such an idiot. If he just did a Google search he would have been able to cut half of the mistakes. I've got to say, I'm dissapointed Danny Williams went to the US, but it's his choice. It actually kind of speaks for the US system, as long as you've got money you can jump to the front of the line.

  • Danny Williams is a Canadian celebrity from cost to cost; he would not be able to hide in Canada. The press would camp out at whatever hospital he went to. Of course Glenn Beck would not think of this- because he is an idiot!

  • Wow, Glenn Beck is officially an idiot.... the Guy doesn't even know Danny Williams is the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador....

    Before Glenn rants, perhaps he should try to get the Premier's title right.

    You know, because the facts matter, unless your Glenn Beck and then only your ideology matters.

  • He didn't look into the Premier's title because it's not the point of the story and really when it comes down to it - Canada doesn't really matter much to us here. We just don't give much thought to your country most of the time - not being sarcastic.....just stating facts.

  • "The Premier of Canada"

    Yep, Beck is a wise man indeed.

  • from the start you're wrong Mr. Beck, he's the PM of a province, not the country,

    Berig, Rochester, NY

  • FUCK GLENN BECK YOU FUCKING IDIOT! YOU'RE THE REASON WHY AMERICANS ARE LABELLED AS BEING IGNORANT! You're wrong on so many levels.

  • @GanjaNL

    The reason Americans are being labeled as "ignorant" is because the Left makes up facts and condemns Americans for not believing their LIES.

    Glenn Beck is a blessing for America.

  • As a Canadian, I can honestly say that we've never said that American's don't provide quality care to people who can afford it (as Danny is a multi-millionaire), just that it doesn't provide care to a lot of people who don't have the money, where as we provide care to everyone. As someone said earlier, it's more likely to have better doctors when you have 10 times the population.

  • First of all, get your facts straight.

    Premier of Canada.. Danny Williams is the Premier of Newfoundland & Labrador, a province of Canada, unlike Stephen Harper the Prime Minister of Canada..

    Oh ignorant people!

    He travelled outside of Canada for this surgery for personal reasons.. The last time I checked, it wasn't an issue for someone to do that.. And it's a little pathetic that this is all you can find to talk about, on top of that your information is incredibly inaccurate!

    Congrats!

  • That was actually one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. I would say more but it seems that everyone that posted a comment here knows Beck was an idiot here.

  • It's like saying the Governor of the US. Uhh which one?

  • premier of Canada???? what a fuckin dumb shit......thanks Glen for proving what most people already know.........repubes are inbred gene challenged dorks

  • same ol Beck..states things without facts.

  • Personally I'm a fan of Arnold, the Governor of the United States

  • Beck sounds like Borat. "I will now visit home of Premier Bush , Lord of America!"

  • @blacbraun hahahaahha love it

  • Do they mention that Danny Williams is a millionaire and can afford the best surgeons in the world (they are more likely to be in a country of 350 million than in a country of 30 million)

  • Oh geez, Beck. Premier of Canada? Usually he does his homework so well, but you'd think he'd get this one right.

    As for the Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, he just saved his taxpayers a whole lot of money by paying for surgery himself, and now someone else won't have to wait as long to get their procedure done in Canada. Win-win. If anything all this proves is that all systems are imperfect and when you have one that works well enough, you improve it rather than scrap it.

  • Glen Beck is a retarded piece of shit. End of discussion.

  • Wow, a progressive who thinks they know best and wants to stifle all debate. Thanks for being honest. By the way I'm a Canadian who likes my Universal Health Care, but is cognizant of its imperfections. As for Beck, I'm trying to figure out by what standard you gauge intelligence. If it's money, he wins. If its morality, that's personal opinion. Either way, Beck wins, whether you or I like it or not.

  • It's hard to take Glen Beck seriously when the first words out of his mouth "the Premier of Canada" are incorrect.

  • To those who disagree with Dw decision: A man's life is at stake. He needs emergency heart surgery. He does not want to wait in the lineups up here nor spend the time looking for a particular type of operation which he has found immediately in the states. Ask yourselves this question, is our society so evil that we expect a man to risk is own life for the sake of Canadian political correctness? Why do we not try and fix our own health care system rather than criticizing Dann Williams.

  • @keiichicom

    We do not disagree with Williams' decision. His rational decision to reject Canadian healthcare in preference for American healthcare just shows the inferiority of government-controlled healthcare and the superiority of a more market-based healthcare system.

  • I am glad to see others agree - the keyword is "rational"

  • So why does he support Canada's system then?

    It just makes him look bad. To be fair, he is not the only one. Sake of "Canadian political correctness?" Again, why does he support the system? The sad thing is that not everyone in Canada has million of dollars to do what he did.

  • I am not doubting that some politicians are hypocritical, I am just commenting on how forceful the movement of Canadian Political correctness has become. The Canadian political correctness movement will label anyone "uncanadian" who disagrees with them. The scary thing is that they asked hime to risk his life by staying here.

  • he had a choice apparently "he didn't need too". I live in canada lol. And it is a premier of a provence not of canada lol

  • @stphnmrshll

    America has such great health care that the rest of the world eagerly seeks it out, forsaking their own country's sorry socialist disasters. America has the greatest healthcare because America is intelligent enough and moral enough to reject a socialist government takeover of healthcare.

  • You made sense of that mess of a comment? More power to you. Agree 100% with you, though.

  • America does not have the greatest healthcare. And morals have nothing to do with it. Please explain why longevity and overall human standard of living is higher in Canada, and Sweden and Finland and Norway and France and Iceland and... They ALL have universal healthcare. Their people are healthier and it cost half of what we spend. Something doesn't add up.

  • @SeptimusX

    American healthcare is superior. Honest statistics show that American healthcare is superior. "Universal" government healthcare is evil and immoral. American healthcare provides superior healthcare in greater quantities. That's why it costs more; because Americans (and the refugees from socialist healthcare nations) get more and better care here.

  • In our country no one gets left behind! My God man wake up and smell the Coffee! In our Country you don't have to remortgage your house to pay medical bills if you can't afford insurance. Haven't you watched Michael Moore's SICKO?America to Canadians is a scary place and believe me you guys can have all it too yourselves.

  • @newfie8

    No intelligent person believes a liar like Michael Moore. America's health system is so vastly superior to Canada's that Canadians come to America for their important medical care. America is so vastly superior to Canada, it's not even close.

  • Answer the question, Did youi see SICKO or not?

  • Actually you are dead wrong. Canadians have always outlived Americans. Same said for Germans, French and Italians et al in the developed world. We outlive you because none of us are afraid to go to the doctors. We dont have CAPS we dont have companies who single out the sick etc. I will always own my house. My house will one day be given to my daughter. I KNOW my house will not be taken from an insurance company. I also KNOW I will outlive YOU.

  • Finally, you ought to know the true story....The story was spun out of context. The Premier went to the USA because the procedure which was developed by Canadians was applied to several patients in the USA by one particular doctor. The Premier simply wanted somebody who has experience. I can understand that. It wasnt about waiting too long. Also, all the medical opinions stated that it wasnt urgent. He booked an appointment with a surgeon experienced in this Canadian innovation.

  • ...but you know what? You will argue differently inspite of the updated information. You will still claim superiority inspite of the fact that Americans go to their graves 4 years on average EARLY. 4 years is alot of time. I would rather have my tax money go towards protection like police, fire, military and health care than to hand any of those services to FOR-PROFIT hospitals. Mercy hospitals? OMG!! Poor hospitals?? WE CANADIANS DONT KNOW WTF THAT IS HERE!

  • @civicnation4two

    You spout a bunch of delusional nonsense. American healthcare is always and everywhere superior to the Canadian monstrosity. The poorest person in America gets better care than anyone in Canada. American healthcare is a thousand times better than your pathetic Canadian garbage. You are a SLAVE that has been subjected to TYRANNY and POVERTY. And you are so delusion that you PRETEND that you like it. USA healthcare is always better. You know it. You just PRETEND otherwise.

  • People dont give two shits about what either of us say...they will check out our stories and come to an informed decision. They will INDEED research the life expectancy and realize CLEARLY that every developed country on the planet outlive Americans by several years. Slave? Ha! You lie at the mercy of ex-bankers who now populate the board rooms of American insurance companies. Hint....they dont give two fucks about the duration of your miserable life on earth when it cuts into profit.

  • Caps? I dont know the meaning of it over here! Pre-existing conditions? Damn, everybody develops a pre-existing condition sooner or later here but we are ALWAYS covered. Poverty? We are the HOTTEST G8 country with not one single bank failure. Our house prices have been rising forever and never paused. We dont have joblessness as you do, we dont have parking lots filled with single working homeless women, we are not dependent on communist China to pay our bills. YOU are done.

  • @herbs814 You are so right.America let people go for years w/o insurance so that they could go bankrupt or worse die because they could not afford care, definetly moral enough. You have no idea what socialism if you think thats how the Canadian system works. Oh and guess what, this "socialism" you fear is already going on with Medic Aid and gov't run police, fire, etc. Wake up . Have you read the real reasons why he went to Florida? Prob not and now your comment just looks stupid.

  • I apologize, I accidentally erased you comment. I was going to reply about the Premier comment: I know he is not "The" premier "of" Canada, he is "A" premier in Canada.
