An illuminating video that should make the truth clear to the meanest intelligence:

PALIN IS RIGHT ABOUT DEATH PANELS
You can always tell when a high-profile conservative has made a logically irrefutable statement about health care reform—-the nutroots go even crazier than usual (no mean feat).
That’s what happened when former Alaska governor Sarah Palin had the temerity to point out the blindingly obvious truth about what she accurately described as “death panels”:
The Democrats promise […]
THIS IS GOVT-RUN HEALTH CARE
In an apparent effort to confirm our worst fears about socialized medicine, Britain’s rationing Czars have decided to stop paying for therapeutic pain injections:
Tens of thousands with chronic back pain will be forced to live in agony after a decision to slash the number of painkilling injections issued by the NHS, doctors have warned.
And what do these apparatchiks recommend for […]
SOCIALIZED MEDICINE & DOCTOR SHORTAGES
One of the most consistent features of government-run health care is the physician shortage. It’s not surprising, really. The government tries to control costs by reducing physician reimbursement and many of the docs go where they can make a better living.
This has happened in pretty much every place that socialized medicine exists and, as usual, the British system is […]
NHS NURSE FIRED FOR WHISTLEBLOWING
When nurse Margaret Haywood discovered that elderly patients were the victims of widespread neglect in Britain’s socialized medical system, she reported it to the proper authorities. Predictably, the NHS bureaucracy did nothing.
However, unlike most of her colleagues, Haywood refused to let the NHS apparatchiks get away with their refusal to take action. She assisted the BBC in filming and broadcasting […]
A BRIT WARNS AGAINST BRIT-STYLE HEALTH CARE
Daniel Hannan, a British member of the European Parliament, explains why it will be a monumental blunder for the U.S. to emulate the socialized health care model that has been such a disaster in the UK:
Why can’t American conservatives talk like that?
SOCIALIZED MEDICINE 101: WHERE THE MONEY GOES
Last week, I wrote a post about the latest NHS scandal in which patients were left to die on unmanned wards while others were forced to drink from flower pots because no one would bring them water. Well, as the Guardian reports, the horror stories are still coming in:
Hundreds of patients suffered and died unnecessarily as a […]
BRITAIN’S THIRD-WORLD HEALTH SYSTEM
If you have a friend or loved one in an NHS hospital, make sure to send them flowers. They may have to drink the water out of the vase to avoid dying of thirst. Think I’m kidding? This is what investigators report about Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust:
Dehydrated patients were forced to drink out of flower […]
POST-WAR HEALTH PROPAGANDA
If you want to know how the British public was tricked into accepting socialized medicine, watch this little nugget of pro-NHS propaganda. Note the similarities between these lies and the whoppers now being told to U.S. voters:
Hmm … Odd that they neglect to mention waiting lists, ambulance stacking, denied medications or the retail price at which the NHS assesses […]
STIMULUS FOR SOCIALIZED MEDICINE
If you think the price tag for today’s “stimulus” boondoggle is scary, the bill’s hidden health care provisions will make your hair stand on end. As Betsy McCaughey puts it:
Tragically, no one from either party is objecting to the health provisions slipped in without discussion … Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they […]
