British patients at high risk of colon cancer are waiting as long as 13 weeks for a colonoscopy. Heart patients who could benefit from angioplasty have to settle for “watchful waiting.”
This month, NHS doctors warned that “a record number of patients could lose their lives if waiting times and bed shortages remain as bad as they already are.”
At least in Britain, people are free to buy private insurance, and go outside the government system for care. That’s also true in most European and Scandinavian countries with universal coverage. But not the Sanders plan. It traps you.
Bernie would throw 180 million people off their health care??
And it puts the government in the drivers seat with total price control. If you don't negotiate with the Medicare Monster under this plan, who will you sell to?
GOVERNMENT MONOPOLY HEALTHCARE
Delay, delay, delay and hope the patient dies.
Sounds wonderful /sarcasm/
God it sounds like the VA, and we ALL know how efficient that is.
Union guys who gave up cash raises over three decades of negotiation in exchange for health benefits are going to be very, very displeased.
With this insanity and a carbon tax, there won't be a middle class. Both will quickly finish off what is left of the middle class FOREVER! And the Democrats are pushing both aggressively.
And after Obamacare has proven for all to see that the Democrats promises are all lies.
UNBELIEABLE!
Military Industrial economy
vs
Health Care economy.
Hmm - what’s the difference?
Why not Gubmint Healthcare For All?
Imagine if Lois Lerner had been a health care apparatchik rather than an IRS apparatchik.
Need I say more?
Good. Let’s test it out shall we?
- All govt employees, contractors, vendors, etc. shall be subject to the Law.
- It will be ILLEGAL for *anyone* to travel to/from the U.S. for any medical test/procedure/etc.
- Code the bill like taxes: ‘auto-renewing’ unless specifically repealed for that budget year.
Let’s see how well it works by forcing GOVT to live within the law as the guinea-pigs.
