NHS faces biggest financial crisis 'in a generation'
London Telegraph ^ | 9/10/15 | Laura Donnelly

Posted on 10/10/2015 11:00:20 PM PDT by sparklite2

NHS trusts in England have racked up a deficit approaching £1 billion in the first three months of the financial year - the worst financial position "in a generation," regulators have said.

The figure is more than the £820 million overspend for the entire previous year.

They said the “staggering” figures would result in widespread cutbacks to services, with lengthening waiting times and increased rationing of care.

It wouldn’t be all of the freeloading muslim invaders would it?

Put the old, white WW II veterans in the street to make room for your new masters you euro-weenies.

I almost feel sorry for them (the UK).

Their socialist medical scheme almost worked, sort of, when the vast majority of their people contributed to the “cause”.

But it’s been several decades of their citizenry deciding it was more lucrative to let “other people’s money” pay for basic needs.
And for some strange reason, they almost all proudly claim to HATE Maggie Thatcher, one of the few honest leftists leaders who ever existed.
And they seem to denounce her as a far “right wing” failed political leader.
As is their right.

But from a USA treaty aspect, I don’t think any of the Europeans can claim the NATO treaty alliance to still be in effect.

I don’t wish any of them ill, but I am not inclined to spill a single drop of USA blood or money,for their defense, anymore.

Rationing of care, the paramount achievement of socialized medicine.

Time to shut down hospitals and nursing homes and make sure the pensions are still paid out.

Doubtful, they never let reality interfere with their fantasies.
