hernias in this country are usually done within 30days of diagnosis...You should read about Paul Krugman on Newsbusters. The man is an imbecile (an idiot for those of you in Rosa Linda)
Former Enron advisor Paul Krugman should move to the UK, sign up for their illustrious NHS and then it’s only a matter of time before he joins Walter Duranty for tea.
Very HOT tea.
Well, I know a lot of people that would disagree with Mr Krugman, including a few NHS employes.
‘Paul Krugman has told us that awful stories about government-run healthcare in Britain “are false.”’
No they’re not. As a chronic sufferer of several digestive diseases, I’m on discussion fora a lot. Many foreigners are there for support, too. Some of them go off on tirades about how they are put off forever getting tests, new doctors, etc. Some of them tell us how it is, then say they’re satisfied even though to me it looks like a cruddy deal (kind of like Wal-Mart shoppers being satisfied since they’re used to being treated like criminals whereas they’ve never been to Nordstrom).
It needs to be emphasized that in Britain, if you are willing to pay a private doctor for health care, you can. So those who suffer most are the poor, or those unwilling to spend their own money after paying high taxes for health care. Also, if you use a private doctor, you may lose your access to the NHS.
Though the rot in the NHS is bad, a far worse situation exists in Canada where you must leave the country to get good, private health care, as the government does not permit the private alternative in the country. While Britain is a disaster, Canada will be a worse disaster in the long run. It only looks better right now because so many Canadians cross the border for their medical needs.
Paul Krugman’s writing pales in comparison to that found on street signs.
Whenever his name comes on any subject that he comments on I know he’s grossly misinformed and what he says is idiotic.
Krugman is a member of the PLO - Pathological Liars O-nonymous!
” (Philadelphia) Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco is retiring Friday, but only so she can collect a $478,057 pension check and return to work Monday, when she will be sworn in for her seventh term. Tasco was one of six Council members to enroll in the city’s controversial Deferred Retirement Option Plan, better known as DROP. She did not immediately return a request for comment. …When DROP was introduced during the Rendell administration, it was thought that it would cost little or nothing. But a study by the administration of Mayor Nutter said DROP had cost the city $258 million over 10 years.”
Just another crooked Black Politician ripping off her “people.” But she has to get in line behind the Black superintendent of public schools in Pittsburgh who just took nearly a million dollar “buyout” of her contract to get rid of her, and then had the temerity to file for unemployment benefits!
hernias in this country are usually done within 30days of diagnosis...“Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco”
This would’ve been perfect if the letters were just changed a bit.
“T. Basco”
bump
Paul why not move to Cuba or North Korea if you like government.

The BBC site runs many stories about what’s becoming a “two-tier” National Health Service (NHS). This means more privately paid-for care...(apparently anyone who can afford to do so is opting out of NHS).
Last week I read that those over 75 no longer get joint replacements and cataract surgeries unless they can pay themselves. We could argue all day about whether government SHOULD pay for health care; nevertheless dropping essential services to patients who have counted on NHS all their lives is rather nasty.
When everyone has health care, no one has it.
