    If you go by CBS News, you'll see them reporting that HHS, the CDC, and the FDA were ordered by a D.C. judge to restore deleted webpages with "health information." As Amuse clarifies, the deleted webpages were dedicated to sex change operations and gender ideology. How a judge can demand which webpages must be included escapes us.
  • MP behind assisted dying bill suggests scrapping High Court approval

    Assisted dying cases would no longer have to be signed off by the High Court under changes suggested by the bill's supporters. The proposed law currently says a High Court judge must check each person is eligible and has not been coerced into making the decision to die. But BBC News has been told Kim Leadbeater, the Labour MP behind the bill, will suggest replacing this with a panel of experts who would oversee applications. It comes after concerns were raised over the court's capacity to hear each individual case.

    Dead patients are lying undiscovered for hours in A&E because NHS staff are too overstretched to notice, a harrowing report reveals today. A severe shortage of beds means the sick are also being left in 'animal-like' conditions in hospital car parks, cupboards and toilets. The Royal College of Nursing today lays bare the tragic collapse of the NHS in a 460-page dossier, titled 'On the frontline of the UK's corridor care crisis'. It features the testimonies of more than 5,000 nurses, who expose how patients are being cruelly 'stripped of their dignity' and routinely suffering avoidable deaths. They say it...

    When a Canadian child was rushed to the hospital after nearly drowning, his parents say doctors threatened to take the child off life support and suggested harvesting his organs. “We had 14 days to prepare his funeral and say goodbye to him,” Nicolas Tétrault, the boy’s father and a former Montreal politician, told The Federalist in English, his second language. “They were promoting to harvest the organs and give them away.” Tétrault said his two-year-old son, Arthur, drowned in October. An ambulance took Arthur to a hospital where doctors resuscitated him, and he was later transferred to Montreal Children’s Hospital,...

  • Keir Starmer is warned millions of Brits will continue to wait months for NHS treatment - despite PM unveiling a series of 'radical' reforms to improve long waiting lists

    Millions of people will continue to wait months for NHS treatment despite a series of ‘radical’ reforms to be unveiled by Keir Starmer on Monday.... Sir Keir will hail the reforms as a ‘key plank’ in Labour’s bid to transform Britain. But a new target slipped out by Downing Street last night suggests that at least 35 per cent of all patients will continue to face waits of more than 18 weeks next year, down only slightly from the current figure of 42 per cent. The figures underline warnings from Wes Streeting yesterday that delivering Labour’s pledge to restore the...
  • Canada’s Dysfunctional Healthcare System Fears ER Surge During Holidays

    Health providers in Canada have expressed concern in the weeks leading up to Christmas and the New Year that the country’s overburdened healthcare system could see a dangerous surge in the number of patients in emergency rooms, encouraging prospective patients to exhaust other available options before going to hospitals. The holidays approach following the publication of reports this month that wait times to see doctors in Canada, particularly specialists, are longer than even in the modern history of the country, and thousands of Canadians are dying on waitlists for life-saving medical interventions.
  • Compared to Other Nations, the U.S. Health Care System Isn't So Bad | Opinion

    The Canadians have banned private health insurance for anything deemed medically necessary by the state. That has not resulted in a socialist paradise, where no medical claim is ever denied. The state keeps a lid on spending by forcing Canadians to wait for care. The story is similar in Britain. Private insurance is legal. 1 in 8 Britons has it. They buy it because wait times for care in the publicly run health care system are interminable.

    During an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker President-Elect Donald Trump said "my nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert Kennedy Jr. will investigate whether the surge in autism is linked to the surge in vaccinations we're giving to infants. Twenty-five years ago one in 100,000 children was diagnosed as autistic. Now it's almost one in 100. These days we're giving more vaccinations to even younger infants than ever before. Often they're getting multiple shots at a time. Maybe it's too much for them to take without suffering some damage." "Some of what I've been hearing about how Pfizer...

    Heart attack patients in some parts of the UK are being asked if they can make their way to hospital after dialling 999, a report says. A leaked West Midlands Ambulance Service memo details changes to a script used by 999 call handlers. They are now required to ask patients if they can get to the hospital without an ambulance. The memo, seen by The Sunday Times and sent on November 29, reportedly says at times of high demand people with urgent abdominal pain or those who have fallen or are vomiting under category three and four 999 calls will...

    President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday nominated former third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy to lead the Health and Human Services (HHS) Department. Trump announced in a written statement on social media: I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big...

    The National Health Service in England, founded in 1948 to deliver health care directly to all in need following World War II, is in trouble. Not only is it broke, but it is also broken, as the new British Prime Minister Keir Starmer just pointed out in response to a recent government study. The waiting lines for care are prohibitive. A recent study revealed that 8 million people in the United Kingdom are waiting for their care, with 40 percent waiting for more than 18 weeks. An incredible 14,000 people died just last year while waiting for care in England’s...

    The NHS in England has been "broken" by successive Conservative-led governments - and the state it is now in is "unforgiveable", Sir Keir Starmer has told the BBC. In his first major interview in Downing Street, the prime minister said a review of the health service to be published on Thursday finds changes to the NHS were "hopelessly misconceived". He said austerity in the coalition years, and then the Conservative government's handling of the pandemic, left the NHS in an "awful position". Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Sir Keir added that the review by an eminent surgeon, Lord Darzi,...

    POTTERVILLE, Mich. — Former President Donald Trump said in an interview with NBC News on Thursday that if he is elected, his administration would not only protect access to in-vitro fertilization but would also have either the government or insurance companies cover the cost of the expensive service for American women who need it. "We are going to be, under the Trump administration, we are going to be paying for that treatment," Trump said before adding, "We're going to be mandating that the insurance company pay." Asked to clarify whether the government would pay for IVF services or whether insurance...

    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reportedly asked President Trump to nominate Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick this week; urging the Commander-in-Chief to put forward Merrick Garland to replace outgoing Justice Anthony Kennedy. According to the Hill, Schumer made the request in private; asking Trump to advance Garland after his nomination process stalled in 2016. “A person familiar with the conversation said on Thursday that Schumer told Trump in a phone call that lasted less than five minutes on Tuesday that the move would help unify the country,” writes the Hill. The Democratic leader penned an editorial in the New York...

    Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Thursday on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that she believed the January 6, 2021 Capitol Hill riot was an assault on “personal freedoms” that former President Donald Trump must be held accountable for. When asked about President Joe Biden’s campaign ad highlighting the Capitol riot, Pelosi said, “I think it’s very important, but I think it also recognizes that democracy is a personal issue. Freedom to whether it is to have access to health care, when, if, and how to expand your family, freedom to be in the workplace in a very strong way because you have...

    The worst situation is in Rome and its region, where more than 1,100 patients are waiting to be admitted, according to the Italian Society of Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care. Just a few days ago, ambulances were queuing outside hospitals in Rome. In other regions, such as Lombardy, patients are crammed into waiting rooms until a bed becomes available. In cities such as Turin, hospital overcrowding has even led to a shortage of stretchers for patients. Emergency departments in Italian hospitals are in chaos and on the verge of collapse. The worst situation is in Rome and its region, where...
