Coming Soon to the U. S.

Like a bad movie, the results of socialized medicine in Britain will soon (if it hasn’t already) start killing people. “The gatekeeper for Great Britain's national health care system is denying cancer patients drugs that would extend their lives. Why? Because the medication is considered too expensive.” In a country where they force dangerously ill patients to sit for HOURS in their ambulances because the government has decreed they must be seen within four hours of coming through the doors, dying cancer patients will soon not be able to get medicine that can save their lives because “it is too expensive.” Sounds just like what Obama is suggesting his “health czar” be able to do here when national healthcare becomes a reality here. This means “old folks” who aren’t going to live much longer, anyway can be denied not only medicine to keep them alive, but to alleviate their excruciating pain, as well. And this is what they want for us. I hope I die before that happens. I'm not big on excruciating pain. (IBD Editorials)
