The reality is that the death rate soars in socialized medicine hospitals in the Netherlands on Friday mornings, as less ethical government doctors kill off the really sick patients so they will not be bothered on their weekends off.
The dirty little secret of murdering sick patients, oops I meant "euthanasia," is that it is an incredible money saving strategy for the government.
That's one reason why the lieberals here are pushing for it....
If Kerry had been elected, I'd say it's 100% certain that Catholic hospitals here would have been forced to provide "abortion care" or else turn their facilities over to the state. These people wail and moan about how the evil rightists disrespect them, but in fact they are so close to achieving their goals that it is terrifying.
