Here’s what you can expect in the brave new health care world Donald Berwick, Obama’s new CMS administrator, has planned for you. The NHS, which Berwick “loves,” is running out of money (as will Medicare in the not-too-distant future) and the average Brit will pay a heavy price for depending on the nanny state for health care:
NHS bosses have drawn […]

UK’S NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE ILLUSTRATES THE PROBLEM WITH “FREE” HEALTH CARE
DOCTORS GO ON STRIKE IN GERMANY
If you ever wonder where Washington’s constant monkeying with Medicare physician payment rates is heading, this news item from Europe will provide a glimpse of things to come:
Some 15,000 doctors across Germany are staging a walkout to press for higher pay and better working conditions, a union said on Monday.
And patients who need care? They are expected to seek […]
PRESIDENT ADMITS THAT OBAMACARE IS “A TRANSITION STEP” TOWARD SINGLE-PAYER
If you still harbor doubts that Obamacare is a first step toward single-payer health care, this montage of Obama speeches will eliminate them. He explicitly states that he is following the same path that Canada took to its government-run system:
Get a system in place, signed into law by the end of my first term as President and build off […]
CANADIAN PREMIER RUNS TO U.S. FOR HEART SURGERY
Yet another Canadian politician has chosen the much-maligned U.S. health care system over the government-run health care of his own country. AP reports the following:
The premier of Canada’s east coast province is undergoing heart surgery in the United States this week because the treatment he is seeking was not available in his home province.

FRENCH HEALTH CARE? JE PENSE PAS.
Now that Obamacare is imploding, I guess we’re in for a fresh crop of articles and blog posts pimping “the best health care system in the world.” Here’s alleged libertarian Matt Welch on the system ranked “best” by the World Health Organization:
In France, you are covered, period. It doesn’t depend on your job, it doesn’t depend on a health maintenance organization, and it doesn’t […]
REAGAN TRIED TO WARN US ABOUT MEDICARE
An easy way to bring a self-satisfied smirk to the face of an Obamacare supporter is to mention Ronald Reagan’s early opposition to Medicare. It’s an article of faith among these people that history has proven the Gipper wrong when he objected to the program for the following reason:
One of the traditional methods of imposing statism, or socialism, on a people has been by way […]

HEALTH REFORM: HERO OF CHAPPAQUIDDICK VS. TRICKY DICK
This is from 1971. You will note that the terms of the debate haven’t changed much. Oddly, most of the medical advances that we now take for granted materialized since these exchanges took place.
Meanwhile, we struggle to decide if Kennedy’s four decades of trying (unsuccessfully) to pass Medicare-for-All is sufficient atonement for the death of a single […]
OBAMA, STARK, KENNEDY & SINGLE-PAYER
The WSJ has a good op-ed on the effect a Democrat Congress will have on our new President. On health care, for example, Pete Stark will “encourage” him to abandon his “centrist” health care plan and go for single-payor.
The Chairman of a crucial House subcommittee dealing with health care doesn’t think Mr. Obama’s proposal to significantly federalize […]
KENNEDY’S HEALTH CARE BAIT & SWITCH
While Barack Obama runs for President on an ostensibly ”moderate” health care reform proposal, his accomplice Ted Kennedy is busy putting together the actual program they plan to shove down our throats:
From his sickbed, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has secretly been orchestrating meetings with lobbyists and lawmakers from both parties to craft legislation that would greet the […]
