  • Want worse health care? Try British model

    President Obama hates the British. One of the first things he when he became President was to return a bust of Winston Churchill loaned to the White House by the Brits after 9/11.


    But, he does like the British health system, because of how well it works. "The families of 1,200 patients who died prematurely in recent years while in the care of NHS doctors and nurses might beg to differ. A shocking 2010 report by Queen's Counsel Robert Francis found that NHS patients were left unattended "for unacceptable amounts of time" in urine- and feces-soaked beds. At one NHS hospital, four members of the same family -- including a newborn girl -- died within 18 months of each other because of medical blunders. "There can no longer be any excuse for denying the enormity of what occurred," Francis noted, harshly criticizing "a lack of care and mistreatment which have no place in any civilized and well-run health service."

    Who says Barack does not like death panels? The person he put in charge of the new system loves them.

    "Yet Berwick has called NHS a "global treasure," saying he is "a romantic about NHS. I love it." It's no coincidence that this centrally planned, government-run health care system appeals to a Harvard-educated pediatrician who views patients not as individuals, but as members of collective "units of concern" defined by age, disease or socioeconomic status. Berwick has criticized the use of new life-saving technologies and wants non-physician "primary care providers" to ration care by controlling access to specialists and diagnostic tests to reduce each "unit's" per-capita costs. He has also characterized aggressive interventions in terminally ill patients as "assaults," not heroic attempts to extend their lives."

    If ObamaCare is not repealed, we will die like the British, due to government refusal to provide medicine or procedures. This is how a totalitarian State operates--read Orwells "1984".
