‘The NHS in the UK is great if you get the flu or break your arm’
Or, if you are healthy. That way, you only have to pay, through your extra 15-20% taxes, for everybody else’s health care.
The tragic story of how what was supposed to be “liberal” instead charged into the jaws of the most heartless illiberality.
In this Country, the liberals would've murdered him BEFORE BIRTH. For him to be born alive with the birth defects he has would subject the doctors, and more importantly the insurance companies, to lawsuits, so his parents would've been pressured into aborting him.
And it’s not like it happened only there. Terri Schiavo is the case here, she died in part for the lack of a spoon.
It’s the British subjects at fault and all their greed for social programs.
I really have to wonder about that... I have a cousin in law that was Diagnosed with Stage IV GBM, brain cancer, pretty much the worst one. He is married with 2 kids 34. Living in Gloucester.
that was 4 years ago, and he is doing pretty well all things considered. His treatment as far as I can tell has been just fine, or at least what they can do for him...he gets whatever procedures he needs in a fairly timely manner as far as I can tell...
Socialism always leads to "questions" about "useless eaters" or "lives unworthy of living" ... and these "questions" always require a "final solution".
This stain is on the citizens of the UK for not voicing out against it. Apparently in a socialized system there are “acceptable losses”. This child was imprisoned against the wishes of the parents and sentiments of the whole western world.
And it’s coming to our neighborhood next if Obamacare is not repealed very soon.
“Liberals” ought to be careful what they categorically damn, because that has a way of greeting them from a mirror.
And another thing that is never addressed......medical research. There’s a reason that the USA is on the cutting edge of medical research. In countries with Sociaized Medicine, when the working people are being taxed to the hilt, there isn’t money for charity......like the charity that Americans give for medical research. Our research benefits the world as other countries also use our means of fighting diseases, such as different cancers. Domestic charities are practically non-existent in countries with Socialized Medicine. Americans are very generous in funding charities that pay for research. When you donate to a hospital, the money goes into research. What will fall by the wayside, if taxes on Americans are raised another 15-20%, to pay for everybody else’s health care? Medical research........
He “lucked out” for now. Something is always better than nothing. The problem is letting it cast a halo over other issues.
I always add, ‘Terri Schaivo’ and ‘Jeb Bush’ to the keywords in posts like these.
We can NEVER FORGET what Terri went through and what a p*ssy Jeb was as Governor of Florida. *SPIT*.
Murder?
that is drivel
Little chance is just an excuse for not trying. Trying to save life is the result of believing life to be sacred.
We just need to keep single-payer out of the US. The Brits love the NHS and even right-wingers like Melanie Phillips are defending it; she blames America for creating a nasty image of the NHS, not the system itself. They all think because they don’t write a check after having a check-up, it’s free. They don’t realize Michael Caine is paying for the entire thing...
The top is essentially uncapped for gain here. Now some firms do seem to push it to obscenely exploitative extents and that becomes a public relations issue for them. But the bright side is a cornucopia of possibility.
What a preposterous headline.....Only the parents and their doctors should comment on this pitiful baby....Murder? Hardly...had he lived, he would have been in a vegetative state, a medical experiment at best.
Jeb went wobbly in the face of boasting wickedness and it is a horrible shame. However he might have genuinely lacked the spiritual support. This was not the time for a rescue but for a warning story. One of thousands that ended up propelling Donald Trump to Washington.
My in-law relatives in the UK are proud of their system and are happy to pay for everybody else’s health care. They consider themselves better and more compassionate than Americans. They CARE about other people! That being said, there is no upward mobility in the UK. You are born into a social level and you stay there for your life. Or you move downward. When I was making peanuts, working as an unregistered tech in the NHS in the UK, my tax bite was 50%. Then again, their welfare system, On The Dole, robs their ‘middle class’ of any possibility of getting ahead. But remember.....THEY CARE. And they are quite proud of themselves because they obviously care about others more than we do.
