I've been meaning to do this since I got back from Scotland. It was a real eye opener watching how horrible the NHS is in the UK. Imagine being told you can't have a drug and that if you do by chance find a way to get it that you lose your Health Benefits. That is the kind of thing that is going on.

Can’t wait for universal healthcare in the US.
Gulp.

And this is pretty much the exact model Obama wants for us. Great if all you need is a flu shot terrible if you are really sick. They now have cut offs so if they think you are too old, or babies born too soon (26 weeks in some countires) you are refused treatment. Really awful to think of but probably the way the Dems want to take care of the social security situation?

And FReepers? Well, yes, it's long past time the roots of tree of liberty were watered, but... please, you go first.

Over 40% would like the option of private non managed care. Some people are waiting months for a simple vasectomy.

As someone who has had retina problems, this makes me sick!
All I hear from the Dems is how we need to be more compassionate. Well where is the compassion here! And Oh yes I can see the pharmaceutical companies developing drugs for diseases socialized medicine won’t pay for!

Now, we will have to go to the Bahamas or somewhere else in the Caribbean to get proper treatment

20 years ago hospitals in the US started recruiting some of the best doctors from Canada
Some capitalists will do the same somewhere in the Caribbean or _________ if a National Health Service becomes fact in the US.
