I can't help but remember that this is what would have resulted in the U.S. if HillaryCare had ever become a reality. All we have to do is to look north to Canada, to see what socialized medicine does to a society, both its health care standards and its economy.

Here is a quote I received from a Canadian health care worker who must remain anonymous, for fear of being fired from her job.

"............ the general train of thought seems to be "let the yanks pay for it, why should we, after all, we are the ones who support peace, and they are warmongers. God's truth. I work in the health care industry, and I can assure you that it's all smoke and mirrors. I left work last Friday for the weekend, and when I returned on Monday, there were patients still lying on stretchers in the hallway in emerg. waiting for a bed, the waiting rooms are constantly full of people who clamour to be seen by a Doctor, and the walk-in clinics can't keep up with the demands to see patients. And what do you think their mantra is? "Well, at least we are not like the Americans"!!! ( What, Successful?) All this, and I pay combined taxes of %61 for the privilage of living in this socialist paradise. Enough! I will retire in four years, and the next day I will move back to Europe, as I do not wish to end my days on this frozen ice cube, supporting a system that is corrupt from the top to the bottom."

This just Canada, nothing to do with England.

England or Canada, it's the same system and the worst is yet to come.

This probably has more to do with flu season and trauma injuries common to this protracted winter than with Canadian vs. US health care.

ER diverts are a weekly occurrence somewhere in midstate PA this time of the year. A hefty flu season coupled with an ice storm and the wrecks and falls which follow closes the ER's every time.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
