HillaryCare: A Look Into the Future

Want to see what a government run healthcare system looks like?  Oh it goes by many names; single payer, universal healthcare and the like, but regardless of the name, it is socialized medicine.  And for those of you who think that America would be healthier under such a system, consider the following in the UK:

“Minimum waiting times” have been imposed by at least 43 per cent of Acute NHS Trusts, a survey for Channel 4’s Dispatches programme found. Treatments are often postponed for more than 20 weeks, despite staff and equipment being available.

Patricia Hewitt, the beleaguered Health Secretary, has vowed to resign if the NHS fails to balance its books by the end of the financial year.

The delays were described as “unnecessary” and “crazy” by James Johnson, the chairman of the British Medical Association.

Remember that in Canada, waiting is routine just because the system is inefficient.
