[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 3908494, member: 48469"] It’s actually not fake news. Shouldice Hernia Hospital is privately managed but publicly funded. From the linked article: “Shouldice Hernia Hospital markets itself as a “global leader” in hernia repair, according to its website. It’s privately owned, but “[URL='https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/private-public-debate-erupts-anew-over-sale-of-shouldice-hospital/article4550469/']almost all of its work[/URL]” is done under contract with the [URL='https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2019/01/14/rand-paul-neighbor-attack-senator-have-surgery-canada/2568200002/']Ontario government[/URL], according to the Globe and Mail, and it accepts [URL='http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/public/programs/ohip/ohipfaq_mn.aspx']Ontario’s Hospital Insurance Plan[/URL], which is part of the nation’s public health care system, the Courier-Journal reported.” Paul is paying out of pocket since he’s not covered by the Canadian public healthcare system. But Rene Boucher, the neighbor who attacked him, will be paying it all back. [/QUOTE]
