Controversial Toronto Mayor Rob Ford slammed President Obama’s signature healthcare law during an appearance on a Washington, D.C., sports radio talk show Thursday.
“I don’t believe in all this public-funded healthcare, because we gotta pay for it,” Ford told WJFK’s “The Sports Junkies.”
Ford said that in Canada, the country “can’t afford” its universal health coverage.

“And I think people are taxed to death, and I don’t mind two-tier healthcare; if you want healthcare, you pay for it. I understand that. And we have general healthcare up here, or OHIP, we call it, but, you know, it’s gonna cost a fortune for you guys to put in this ObamaCare, and I just don’t see how the people are going to be able to afford it, to tell you the truth.”
