Not only did Rudy fudge prostate cancer rates in his latest ad to skewer European government-sponsored health care, but apparently the technique used to treat his own cancer was developed by a European doctor, Ezra Klein reports:

So Giuliani's case for the superiority of our "free market" health care system goes something like this: While on health insurance provided by New York state, he was treated, using a surgery developed by Europeans, for prostate cancer, a disease that most commonly afflicts those covered by the federal government's single-payer health care system. Take that, Europe/national health insurance.
