LOUISVILLE, Ky. \u2014 U.S. Sen.\u00a0Rand\u00a0Paul\u00a0plans to undergo hernia surgery at a private hospital in Canada because of injuries he suffered when a neighbour tackled him while he was doing yard work at his Kentucky home.<\/p>\n

The Republican lawmaker is scheduled to cross the border for outpatient surgery scheduled sometime during the week of Jan.<\/p>\n

21 at a hospital in Thornhill, Ont., his attorneys said in a recent filing in\u00a0Paul’s lawsuit against Rene Boucher, who attacked\u00a0Paul\u00a0while the senator was doing yard work.<\/p>\n

The surgery is related to the 2017 attack, the court document says. Boucher pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress and was sentenced to 30 days in prison. Federal prosecutors are appealing the sentence, saying 21-months would have been appropriate.<\/p>\n

Paul\u00a0is scheduled for surgery at Shouldice Hospital, which touts itself as a world leader in \u201cnon-mesh hernia repair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a private, world-renowned hospital separate from any system and people come from around the world to pay cash for their services,\u201d\u00a0Paul\u00a0spokeswoman Kelsey Cooper said in an email Monday.<\/p>\n

In choosing Shouldice,\u00a0Paul\u00a0will receive care in a country that offers its citizens a publicly funded, universal health care system that runs counter to\u00a0Paul’s approach to American health care policy.\u00a0Paul, who ran for president in 2016, touts private-market approaches for U.S. health care problems.<\/p>\n

Paul’s chief strategist, Doug Stafford, pointed to Shouldice Hospital’s private status in pushing back against media reports about the senator going to Canada for treatment. \u201cIt’s literally the opposite of socialized medicine,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

The hernia procedure is estimated to cost $5,000 to $8,000, the court document said.<\/p>\n

Paul\u00a0suffered multiple broken ribs in the incident.<\/p>\n

Boucher has said the attack was triggered by\u00a0Paul\u00a0stacking debris near their property line in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and that he \u201clost his temper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul\u00a0sued Boucher last year seeking damages for physical pain and mental suffering from the attack. A jury trial is scheduled to begin late this month in Bowling Green.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter presenting our evidence to the court and jury, we will ask the jury to carefully consider all evidence and to make a fair allowance based upon the entirety of the facts and circumstances related to this attack and plaintiff’s injuries,\u201d\u00a0Paul’s attorneys said in the filing.<\/p>\n

Paul’s lawyers also said that a biomechanics expert is prepared to testify that\u00a0Paul’s injuries were similar to those from a 40 km\/h car crash.<\/p>\n

Boucher’s attorney, Matt Baker, said Monday that \u201cwe’re in the process of getting ready for trial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baker said that Boucher has made a $30,000 offer of judgment to\u00a0Paul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
