The only real good thing that will come from Obamacare will be that it comes into effect before next year’s mid-term elections.

A radically declining economy caused by spiraling Taxes and Health Insurance premiums just might be the thing to wake people up and give the Donkeys the boot.

Then again, it might not...

A grieving daughter has lodged a complaint against a hospital which left her father to die on a 'barbaric' end of life pathway for eight days without her permission.

Susan Phillips said her 69-year-old father Robert Goold was left to slowly deteriorate for more than a week on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway.

The pensioner, who had dementia, got weaker and weaker as doctors took food, water and oxygen away from him but survived longer than they expected.

Addenbrooke's Hospital...yeah...they did the same to my dad...only he wasn't suffering from dementia...at least they gave him a morhene drip that he could work
