European Hospital - Note lack of curtains, been there done that ...
Hey US, where are your “waiting to die” lists?
Get with the govt paid healthcare(?) program.
For a minute I thought that you meant window curtains——and then noticed the lack 0f privacy curtains.
Dreadful.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate healthcare purposes.
More specifically, as evidenced by the 10th Amendment, the Constitution’s silence about healthcare means that the Founding States had reserved “government” power to regulate, tax and spend for healthcare uniquely to the individual states, not the federal government, each state free to explore its own solutions for healthcare.
This is evidenced by the following excerpts, most of them clarifications of the fed’s constitutionally limited powers by previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
So unconstitutional (imo) Obamacare is based on state powers and uniquely associated state revenues that the feds have stolen from the states, state revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional taxes according to the Gibbons excerpt above.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Pres. Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
In fact, if Justice Gorsuch turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
Socialists lie.
Yeah, millions of people flee from the USA to England for healthcare.
Excerpts from article.
A new report from LIBERAL think tank the Commonwealth Fun
The first giveaway that something is amiss should be the fact that the United Kingdom ranks as the top health care system of those studied. As I reported in a feature last fall, the U.K.'s National Health Service is facing severe problems and has been plagued in recent years by cascading scandals involving horrific neglect of patients.
The problem with the Commonwealth Fund study is that it’s rigged to produce a result that favors socialized health care systems. The study determines that the U.S. system is worse because it lacks universal health insurance coverage and the report emphasizes “equity” as one of the key factors in evaluating a health care system.
The study also doesn't mention cancer outcomes. As it turns out, the U.S. ranks well ahead of the U.K. in five-year survival rates for 22 out of 23 types of cancers, according to data from the American Cancer Society.
The study also relies on surveys of patient satisfaction, which are subjective, because they vary based on people's expectations. If people have low expectations, then a system with objectively bad health outcomes could still be viewed as satisfactory.
The only peaceful solution is the one provided by the founders and that is an article V convention. This takes the federal government out of the equation. The situation we currently face is the very reason the founders added the provision for states to call a convention. It's way past time to focus our effort on getting this done.
Some time ago I took my wife to Sloan Kettering, where she was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer (she's still in remission 8yrs later PRAISE G-D ALMIGHTY!). In the waiting room we were literally surrounded by people from the Great White North and from across the pond. More recently on of the emirs from Saudi Arabia flew in to Mt Sinai for emergency open heart surgery done by a "nice Jewish doctah"
We know a man who used to run focus groups for MDs. He retired, and a couple of west coast heart by pass centers offered him a ton of money to do focus groups in Canada for primary docs. The goal was to get them to send patients to the hospitals he represented. He retired again, after making a ton of money.
Every once in awhile, we hear about a rich Saudi or an Opecker Prince or a Latin American dictator in need of a heart transplant for themselves, a family member or mistress. Flying into a local airport getting on an ambulance or helicopter and taken to a heart transplant facility for a new heart. No waiting on a list. Of course that wouldn't happen would it?
I call BS, Obamacare fixed it.
Total, pure, unadulterated, horseshit.

It was so much crap, I had to post it twice.
Thanks for replying.
It’s a matter of Constitution-savvy patriots getting low-information voters up to speed with the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers imo.
Everybody should read Free Republic.
Enough enlightened voters could put a big dent into sending state sovereignty-ignoring lawmakers home in the 2018 elections.
There is NO way that the patients would say that! And they’re the ones that count.
Ha ha ha. Well. Everyone run to the UK for their health care, then.
What good is a medical system that is unaffordable except to the very rich and the very poor?
The best technology in the world is worthless if it is not accessible wihout ruining your finances.
Our medical system is a monopoly that takes nearly 1/5th of our economy and wants more. It is harvesting our labor because it can.
“A higher-earning person in the US is more likely to meet cost barriers than a low-income person in the UK,”
