Sign of things to come to the US under President Obama and a Dem controlled Congress.

Indeed. Government healthcare is not for the ill; it is only suited for health maintenance. Many Canadians have found that fact out far too late.

I don’t care because at least in the UK they have national health care. And as we all know, national health care is universal and free.

Except when it isn’t.

I’ll bet they didn’t refund the lifetime of taxes she paid in.

This sort of thing is criminal. How can they remove NHS basic care from a patient, unwilling to pay for the needed treatments, when a patient buys the medicine on their own? All doctors should gang up on the NHS and show them who makes the care decisions.

It's very important to remember that buried in the HillaryCare bill, somewhere in the page 1300 range, were fines and jail terms for treating patients outside the system.

And she was wise to put them there. Unless the iron fist of the state prevents it, socialist medicine will spur the largest and greatest private market in health care (here in the US) that the world has ever seen.

If you want a truly chilling preview of what the Dems want to introduce here, follow this link. This link takes you to the website of NICE, the Nation Institute for Clinical Excellence. NICE is the organization that reccommends not only who gets treatment in the UK but also what research will get the most money as well. Here is their home page address that won't link in html for some reason: www.nice.org.uk. Your life in the hands of bureaucrats. Isn't that special?

One other thing I learned at the above site: In the entirety of the UK, there are a grand total of 223 MRI scanners (as of the 2006, I believe). In the US, where Dems insist we have the worst healthcare system in the world, there are approximately 9,000 MRI machines. Can't you just feel the compassion?

Is it just me or is there something positively Orwellian about this organization being called NICE? "Dear, the NICE people called to say that saving your life isn't cost effective. They regret any inconvenience this may cause you but, hey, your going to die so, you won't have long to complain about it." Real NICE, right?

And from 2007....

UK cancer survival rate lowest in Europe

Anyone who thinks socialized medicine is a cure for America's health care problems should be made to spend some time in a country that has it.
