In case you need more evidence that a government-funded health care system is a bad idea, London’s Daily Mail reported yesterday:
socialized
That’s funny. Didn’t Michael Moore promote Britain’s NHS as a top-notch system in his movie Sicko? Minette Marrin at London’s Sunday Times says:
Is this what we want? Inefficient, government-controlled health care that will force Americans to fly halfway around the world for life-saving surgeries? This is scary news, especially since leading Democratic presidential contenders are all for universal health care. Ed at Captain’s Quarters notes, “The longer trips to India and Malaysia indicate a measure of desperation.” Clearly, NHS is NOT working, and a similar system in the United States likely wouldn’t work either. Blue Crab Boulevard agrees, adding, “What’s interesting here is that people are avoiding the ‘free’ health care if they can afford it. That speaks volumes about the socialized medical system in Briton – none of it good…Meanwhile, the left in this country continues to push for socialized medicine.” John Hawkins at Right Wing News tells us this could be our future, too: “Don’t you look forward to the day when you have to fly to India or Hungary because you’re ‘simply frightened of going’ to a Hillary hospital? Of course, they’ll assure you that won’t happen.” Macsmind adds that the “backlog on critical medical care especially in the wait for new organs such as heart, kidney, liver” will only increase if the country turns to socialized medicine. More from the Daily Telegraph and Don Surber. And you wonder why Hillary was voted “scariest Halloween costume” among all the presidential candidates.
