A Socialist health care system in which people die waiting to be treated; where those in pain had to pull their own teeth; where women had to deliver their babies in the parking lots of Socialist hospitals; where emergeny patients had to wait 2 or more hours in an ambulance before getting into a Socialist hospital to be seen; where hospital patients were taken off food, water and medication and left to die..against their will..and against the will of their families..under a program named NICE; where NHS administrative bureaucrats outnumber physicians by at least 2 to 1; where bureaucrats decide who will live and who will die.

Now, we find not much has changed. Even with the so called revamping of the NHS.

Now, isn't it wonderful that 27 States sued the Feds over O'BomberCare?

Isn't it wonderful that the US House of Representatives Repealed O'BomberCare?

Isn't it wonderful that the US House of Representatives totally cut off all money to fund any part of O'BomberCare and the vast bureaucracy O'BomberCare was to spawn?

Yes!!!

Surgeons raise alarm over waiting
By Branwen Jeffreys
Health correspondent, BBC News
NHS given waiting times warning

Surgeons say patients in some parts of England have spent months waiting in pain because of delayed operations or new restrictions on who qualifies for treatment.

But, I'm talking about emergency patients taken to the hospital in an ambulance with a life threatening medical emergency. AND

I didn't state the full case. In Britain, emergency patients not only waited 2 hours or more in the back of an ambulance waiting to get into the hospital; after they were taken into the hospital, they waited 2 or more hours in the lobby or corridors stacked up like cord wood waiting to see a physician.

Perhaps in 1984 people could be refused medical treatment if they couldn't pay or submit an insurance card.

I don't know when the law was changed but that's not the case now.

The article does mention..in one area..routine surgery. Hip and knee replacement surgery is only "routine" if you're not the one suffering your long wait in severe pain.

Further, my listing of the deficiencies of the Socialist health care system in Britain cover a wide range of incompetence and indifference to suffering and life threatening injuries and diseases on the part of Health bureaucrats.

I'm unaware of any "rules" which restrict comments to the focus of an article. Especially when an entity such as the NHS has established over many years that they are incompetent to provide even mediocre health care to fully paid up subscribers and a list of horrors is provided to make that point.

actually i was carrying a million dollars worth of travel insurance, the admitting doctor (or attempting to) was my mother's longtime family doc who worked at that hospital, and YES, i arrived in an ambulance and laid on a stretcher trolley for quite some time in a hallway before they would admit me because they wanted payment UP FRONT.

the supply of a local address where they could send bills finally convinced them...oh and the word-in-their-ears from one of the top doctors on their roster who was a family friend.

no... no rules in place per say.. however, YOU were the one who brought it up and only changed your "tactics" when others pointed out that you were in error...again... seems to be a common theme with you... perhaps you should start focusing on other things to debate about - the health care issue is not working out for you

Brought what up?

Nothing I said about the British NHS is in any way...in error.

Further, the law in the United States prohibits those seeking medical attention from being denied..or turned away.

Let me remind everyone.

O'BomberCare is not about medical treatment, it's not about "health care". O'BomberCare is about "health insurance" and there's a hell of a lot of difference between medical care and medical insurance.
