Senior MP Ann Clwyd says her husband ´died like a battery hen´ in hospital
Telegraph ^ | 12/4/12 | John-Paul Ford Rojas

Posted on 12/04/2012 3:08:55 PM PST by Nachum

Ann Clwyd broke down as she spoke about the final moments of Owen Roberts, who contracted pneumonia after being admitted.[Snip] She said her husband was squashed against the side of his bed, his lips dry, and cold from a fan that had been turned on for a patient in an adjacent bay. A light had been flicked on in the four-bed ward and someone shouted out “anybody for breakfast?” just moments before he died., Ms Clwyd said. She painted a picture of nurses who treated her husband with “coldness, resentment, indifference and even contempt"

A rational person has to decide when to commit suicide rather than suffer.

ObamaCare. We didn’t see the growing threat until too late.

“Free” healthcare is worth exactly what you paid for it.

I don’t know about the rest of the country, but here in liberal California, when I contracted Pneumonia, I was put in a private room. Something about it being dangerous to other patients in a semi private room. But then, what do I know.

This whole thing (Obamacare) was planned to drive you to suicide before you cost Holy Mother the State too much money. And believe me, confronted with the idea of ending their lives under the tender mercies of the state, as the English do, a lot of people will consider this.

And that’s exactly why pro-suicide laws, even the “involuntary suicide” formerly known as murder, is being done by our most “progressive states.” (Most are in the Pacific Northwest and New England...what is it about the northern climes that makes them depressive and progressivist?)

That was then and it was in the US. But this article from the UK is our future, after Obamacare and its progressive desensitization have really kicked in.

In the end, it is the State above all else. New blood is being indoctrinated to serve the State and worn out blood is set aside to languish like so much worn out junk...and so it goes. This is the epitome of evil.

I did not spend 28 years protecting a STATE, but I sure was defending my country. White is black, up is down, and there is no difference between right and left politicians.

This is care designed by lawyers, folkes, what do we expect.

They use terrorists to get their “muslim child support” cut to the mid east.

And they will use patients from inner cities to get their “medical care support” cut to and from doctors.

They have public education as an in between in communication between parents and children, and the list of big gov extortion goes on.

RINOs like the idea of this taxation and bilking and billing “the dead beat tax payers”

Cheating breeds dependency, false science breeds dependency, and dictators love when their population cheats and has no brain nor discipline nor character and nor morale to be able to think independently.

Nothing good is coming out of this, and the useful idiot dictators of AMerica are not going to take this to heaven or to any good future. They do not care, they are like that idiot retaining for a biscuit no matter what at the welfare office.

People died of common or work-related illnesses in the past because there weren’t the technological and scientific means to save them and give them a few more years, no matter how much or how little money they had. In the future, they’ll be dying because they’re no longer productive economic units for the State.
