I hate to say this, but this article brings to mind one major difference between American society and Europe/Canada where socialized medicine holds sway. In Europe, when officious morons like this order people to their deaths, they obediently walk down the path to the ovens. Authority has spoken and they have been conditioned to obey even unto death. Americans, on the other hand, immediately find a sleazy lawyer and file suit. The evil Dr. Death and his apparatus are going to find themselves besieged by our litigiousness society. Even the sovereign immunity of the federal government will not protect them from the land sharks of our legal profession. There will be blood in the streets and their scheme may well prove to be unworkable.
Hope springs eternal.
Health care can work if it is done the right way. Doing it after the British and Canadian way, or expecting employers to fund it totally like some do is not the way either, neither is expecting the tax payer to pay for it with raising taxes

I hope so. But the problem is with most legal cases- especially something involving elderly folks who are very sick- by the time the case is decided in the courts after all the appeals..they might be dead.
There is another difference between the average American and the average European...we will grab firearms at the drop of a hat. There is a little bit of the Bruce Willis Die Hard character in all of us. When things look hopeless we like to kick ass.
Obuummer is generating crisis after crisis in order to overload the system and make everyone a government dependent stooge. It ain't going to work and the clowns in DC will end up being surprised by the reaction they will eventually receive.
