Brock Lesnar's interview earlier this week drew some criticism from people across the border up in Canada after the UFC Heavyweight champ dissed the Canadian health care, especially the one he received while in hospital in Manitoba.

Lesnar rated the care he received at the Brandon Hospital as "third world" and said that it was actually his wife Rena that saved his life....by checking him out of there and driving back to the United States.

Talking to the Ottawa Sun, Manitoba Health Minister Theresa Oswald said she's not bothered by the comments Lesnar made especially after he admitted he made the comments in an effort to influence opinion about U.S. President Barack Obama’s plans to reform the American health-care system.

"If this is more about partisan American politics and bashing American health-care reform I’m not interested in getting engaged in that. They can have that debate down south," Oswald said.

"I will listen to critics and learn from critics but also evaluate the point of view from which they’re coming."

Lesnar was hospitalized at the facility last November and spent four days there. Carmel Olson, CEO of the Brandon Regional Health Authority said that the hospital is well equipped with state of the art equipment and the doctor who took care of Lesnar is very qualified and respected.

"I would be very disappointed if comments from one would-be celebrity would tarnish our reputation and I’m confident they won’t," Olson said.

"We’re not perfect, and there’s never 100% satisfaction with the health-care system anywhere, but this one-time event will not have an impact on the confidence that people have in our system."
