Under the current British and Canadian health systems,this guy doesn't have a prayer! And under HillaryCare?

Take a guess.....

Slip, slipping down the slippery slope to euthanasia and medicalized murder for the sake of cost control. The British welfare state's cherished promise of cradle to the grave medical care is now revealed to have a sinister catch: they will decide when your time is up and you are ready for the grave.

Complete sentence: "They tell me I'm a legally competent person to refuse [life support], but I'm not legally competent to make the decision that I don't want the end of my life to be hastened," Burke said. "I find that contradiction very hard to understand."

*****He can picture it: lying still, unable to communicate but conscious every second as his doctors let him die. ****


Yeah I understand . Nothing like waiting around conscious ,unable to communicate staring at the walls for 5 or 6 years. Maybe they will turn on the TV so he can watch Sponge Bob .Personally I would rather starve than this but then Different strokes for different folks.

"He is demanding that the state give him nutrition and water by artificial means once he is no longer able to feed himself ..."

He DEMANDS? The state GIVE him?

Sure. What else? Dialysis? Heart lung machine? 24-hour care? Transplants?

You got the money? Then demand to your little beating heart's content.

But if you're taking money from others then you play by their rules.

[Holden Magroin]

This is what happens under socialized medicine. When the state runs low on money to fund health care, it has to cut back on services. There are already whispers in Europe about euthanizing deformed infants.

This from the country that brought us this pearl of witticism:
CUSTOMER:
Here's one.
CART MASTER:
Ninepence.
DEAD PERSON:
I'm not dead!
CART MASTER:
What?
CUSTOMER:
Nothing. Here's your ninepence.
DEAD PERSON:
I'm not dead!
CART MASTER:
'Ere. He says he's not dead!
CUSTOMER:
Yes, he is.
DEAD PERSON:
I'm not!
CART MASTER:
He isn't?
CUSTOMER:
Well, he will be soon. He's very ill.
DEAD PERSON:
I'm getting better!
CUSTOMER:
No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
CART MASTER:
Oh, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
DEAD PERSON:
I don't want to go on the cart!
CUSTOMER:
Oh, don't be such a baby.
CART MASTER:
I can't take him.
DEAD PERSON:
I feel fine!
CUSTOMER:
Well, do us a favour.
CART MASTER:
I can't.
CUSTOMER:
Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
CART MASTER:
No, I've got to go to the Robinsons'. They've lost nine today.
CUSTOMER:
Well, when's your next round?
CART MASTER:
Thursday.
DEAD PERSON:
I think I'll go for a walk.
CUSTOMER:
You're not fooling anyone, you know. Look. Isn't there something you can do?
DEAD PERSON: [singing]
I feel happy. I feel happy.
[whop]
CUSTOMER:
Ah, thanks very much.
