“Overcrowding in government healthcare hospitals?”

US Military hospitals are a microcosm of (but no doubt highly superior to) what Obama care will unleash.

Overcrowded, long waits, shoddy care, captive market with no recourse to other options. Worst medical care I ever experienced was at the “Starship of Navy Medicine”.

No, it is not. And I say that as a conservative Briton.

Whilst incidents like this happen, the vast majority of nurses and doctors and NHS staff are first rate, contrary to US horror stories. I know, I have been a patient, family member of patients, and a non-caring/medical NHS worker.

The NHS (and I can really only speak for it) has its problems, some major. But it is not in fact far from the third rate horror show that too many Americans believe it is.

But Obama says such a medical system will IMPROVE our health care... give us choices (like going to the hospital to die, or just staying at home to die???).

Not fair. If he’d been 14 I’d say “bad parenting” but at 41 mom and dad are not to blame.

The body was left to die? Not the person?

Do media outlets not hire editors anymore?

They do, but the "editors" were "educated" in an environment which teaches that a dedication to learning and applying the rules of proper English grammar is racist.

It's far better to show your contempt for the "dead white males" who attempted to shackle the entirely virtuous minorities with their antiquated and racist language rules while taking every opportunity to promote urban jive and sloppy, guttural and obscene slang expressions as being entirely acceptable and mainstream, of course.

Pfft.  We "slouch toward Gomorrah" and race ever faster toward "Idiocracy" every day, and we can thank the race-obsessed Left for ALL of it. 

"sigh"

What I suspect was nearer the truth was he was labelled as another drunk bought in to sleep it off. We are having so many of these incidents every night not just Friday/Saturday that policy is let them sleep off till morning and discharge them. Of course what failed here was that he was in a serious condition which was not diagnosed. But in defense of the nursing staff they are becoming fed up with drunks/druggies taking their time and beds up when they could be treating real patients. It is wrong on one level but on another understandable.
