Diary of her Final Days

[WBL 1952]

Reading this horror story of the final days of a British cancer patient coping with the debt ridden, underfunded, medically lacking, rationed, delayed, bureaucratic, government run system should remind us of the nightmare that awaits us if even half of Senator Clinton’s health care agenda passes: It’s eight months since I collapsed and was taken to hospital, where I was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer. Because of my age – 57 – I was told that very little could be done for me, and that I had up to six months left to live. I then discovered that because of the cash crisis in the (British)NHS, treatment is rationed to those who are most likely to recover, and if you suffer from more than one form of cancer, you don’t fall into that category.

With Hilcare, you will be forbidden to see another doctor, and if a doctor is paid by you for care, it is a felony.

Aging boomers = control the healthcare system, control the society.

I didn't mean to imply I have cancer. I have a different life-long illness.

My prayers are with your sister-in-law. I hope she remains cancer free.

There are always compromises and gaps in care when dealing with a single-payer Hillarycare system. There is not enough care to go around after paying for the vast bloated beaurocracy, so the sickest or the most politically correct get to the front of the line.

What usually results is a two-tiered system of haves and have-nots; those with money go ahead and pay for decent and immediate care. Those without money wait in line.

And when the whiners on the left see poor and minorities receiving less care than rich Hollywood types, they will scream to tax the rich even more so the poor can have what millionaires have. And the beaurocracy will enlarge yet again, and taxes will go up...
