Excerpt from a story on www.foxsports.com, on what Brock Lesnar thinks of the Canadian Healthcare system and US health reform (just reporting, not commenting)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lesnar withdrew from his scheduled fight against Carwin at UFC 106 last November, but didn't yet know why he was exhausted and losing weight. Although Lesnar is vague about the dates and locations of his health woes' progression, he lost 40 pounds and eventually had a major scare while at a hunting lodge in Canada, when he became delirious and passed out from pain while at least three hours from medical treatment.
After a stint in a Canadian hospital that left him criticizing the entire Canadian medical system and railing against U.S. health reform Wednesday, he returned to North Dakota and was diagnosed with diverticulitis after a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. But after originally being told he would need surgery, a colonoscopy on Jan. 5 revealed the problems apparently had healed with the help of antibiotics.
"The Mayo Clinic said, 'You've got a winning lottery ticket,"' Lesnar said.
