“Having said that, we have the best health care system in the world. How do I know this? Well, just one of many empiric facts is a gentleman--I believe his name is Mr. Williams--who is Premier of Newfoundland, who needed heart surgery, and the type of heart surgery he needed was simply not available in Canada. So he came to the U.S. of A., the good old U.S. of A., to have that heart surgery because that's where the cutting edge is for health care. If you really need health care, the best of health care, and you have the resources, the U.S. of A. is the place to get it, but we need to be sure that good health care is available to all.”
