The “great” socialized healthcare “enjoyed” by the other industrialized countries doesn’t seem like such a good deal for the old folks. AARP will never let it’s members hear about this.

It certainly wasn't good for the French last August during their heatwave. One wonders how much they've changed for this year...

It's official the UN declares European socialized medicine a failure for the elderly. WHO is a UN organiztion.

They already got a solution to this problem in those socialized medicine countries. Keep them waiting in line until they die. That way they never get old in the first place!

"In some European countries there is a tradition or a movement for palliative care," Tsouros said, adding that Britain was renowned for its use of hospices.
The great irony here is that the hospice movement (to whom I pay great tribute) is at most semi-detatched from the N.H.S. (the 'socialised' medical system). It relies very heavily on charitable donations, rather than hand-outs from government, and yet it is the best...

I'd like to know the countries being cited in the article. I'm in Ireland, and there is very good care of the elderly here. My own mother (while not elderly, she was 61) died of terminal cancer three years ago. While her death was swift, there was excellent palatative care afforded her, and the family. There is also excellent Hospice Homecare available in Ireland. Of course, Ireland also remains a very family orientated nation - with the family unit enshrined in the constitution.

I'm surprised they just don't gas their old people. It's the next "logical" step.
