On Friday’s Rush’ show, the great Mark Steyn hosting, there was a caller who emigrated from the former Yugoslavia.

All communist countries have Obamacare. His comments were about his father, who was an obstetrician in Yugoslavia.

This gentleman’s comments reflect my own personal memories of life behind the Iron curtain. My father also was an obstetrician in Czechoslovakia, We escaped in 1966 and rived in the US in 1967.

The comments about patients bringing “gifts” to the doctor in order to insure a level of care above and beyond butchery resurrected my childhood memories.

Should Obamacare become intrenched we will have England’s healthcare or much worse.

I heard it some great radio. Of course Steyn is so good you don’t want to miss a moment.
I think the end result of obamcare,should it flourish, will be insurance companies that fund customers that have offshore medical care done, little here in the U.S.

Please repeat this story on social media, freepers. This MIGHT put the fear of God into the low-info crowd.

There was a Greek comedian (Athanassos Vengos)who ridiculed the Greek system of medicine in one of his films....

Vengos was in a body cast with his broken leg up in a hospital bed....

The camera panned out to show the parking meter on the top of the bed-post...

Vengos attempts to turn around to put some more coins in the parking meter for his hospital stay.

....end result he falls out of bed and breaks his other leg.
