NATIONAL HARBOR, MD — Congressman Steve Scalise introduced a panel discussion called “Prescription for Failure: The Ills of Socialized Medicine" at CPAC on Thursday. He established what was at stake in 2020: “2020 will be a contrast election,” he said, between Trump’s freedom agenda or socialism.
“You don’t want socialism, you surely don’t want socialized medicine,” he said. “Tens of thousands of Canadians come to America for life-saving treatment. Do you see Americans going to Canada for life-saving treatment?” he asked rhetorically.
“Healthcare is only one example of what’s at stake in this election,” he said, before concluding that individual freedom will win out in 2020 and predicted that Republicans will keep the Senate and win back the House.
Author Dr. David Schneider, an orthopedic surgeon from Colorado, explained how with socialized medicine, wait times for care “are disastrous.” In Canada, the wait time to see a specialist is two years, and then another two years to get the procedure.
“People in this country would go crazy if you were told you had to wait four months,” he said.
Then he explained how Princess Diana would be alive today, if not for socialized medicine. “Princess Diana was in the car accident in France,” he explained. “They actually don’t have any trauma specialists in France.”
“For the first hour after that accident, she was still in that tunnel,” he continued. “And after an hour, they took her to a nearby hospital and she was alive for another three hours and they couldn’t control the bleeding from her pulmonary artery.”
Schneider explained that “there were no trauma-trained people there.”

And here all this time I thought it was a drunk in a Mercedes...................
Yeah, 125 MPH into a concrete lane barrier at the tunnel entry.
“They actually don’t have any trauma specialists in France”
Exaggerate much?
They all gave up
The French have a curious way of treating cardiac tamponade.
I always figured the French slow-walked getting her to the hospital as a favor to the House of Windsor.
Meghan Markle might want to grow a brain.
Yeah, that and a car crash
HER ####ING BRAINS WERE ON THE DASHBOARD!!
Let’s not get stupid here folks :)
Yeah, me to.
Ask anyone who was in the former Soviet Union about their medical care.
Nope, he speaks the truth......
The French Republic includes approximatively 60 millions inhabitants for almost 550,000 km(2). Prehospital management is organised at department level (96). This management involves a regulatory system initiated from a unique phone number (15 national). The medical regulator sends either first-aid providers or a medical team. On-site care is highly developed and prehospital medically assisted care is really the first phase of the treatment of the injured. The team ensures that the victim is in the best condition for transport and participates in monitoring. Intra-hospital care begins either in an emergency room, with a physician qualified in Emergency Medicine, or in a recovery room, with a surgical intensive-care team. There is no specialisation in trauma in France. All specialist surgeons treat those aspects of trauma pathology that concern them. All surgeons operate on trauma patients and with regard to the organ concerned: digestive, orthopaedic, em leader. The challenge nevertheless remains that of maintaining facilities at a sufficient level to deal with everyday pathology, known for the seriousness of its consequences in both human and financial terms, within an increasingly sparse hospital infrastructure. Suggestions are emerging in response to these preoccupations. Organisation at the European level of hand emergency units (FESUM) is a targeted example.
Yes, and you can add in her not wearing a seat belt.
Sudden impact at a high rate of speed turns organs into pudding. A person may look perfectly fine on the outside but inside the cell walls and blood vessels of their organs are ruptured. It’s a bunch of goo.
“They actually don’t have any trauma specialists in France”
Exaggerate much?
************************************************
I couldn’t believe that myself so I looked it up. It’s true, the trauma specialty does not exist in French medicine. If they are going to continue to increase their Muzzie population, they had better develop that specialty. In America, cities such as Baltimore would have a much higher death rate from violence if they didn’t have places such as the University of Maryland Hospital’s Shock Trauma Center loaded with trauma doctors and nurses.
Save for later. About time we expose the fraud of Medicare or Socialized Medicine!
Yes, I think we all agree here that socialized medicine is BAD.
But over-the-top hyperbole just trashes our credibility and undermines our arguments.
Not wearing a seat belt probably had a lot to do with it.
