SILVERNAME -> Obama's health care plan could kill you (6/30/2008 1:13:41 AM)

Barack Obama promises that when he's president, health care will be available and affordable for all.
Similar promises made years ago in Britain and Canada led to mandated government health care programs that are killing people in those countries today.
The British ministry of health, for example, in a heralded "reform" move, has decreed that British patients should get emergency room care within four hours. Without disclosing how many emergency patients die within the four-hour waiting period, the ministry has admitted that, at some hospitals, seriously ill patients are kept in ambulances for hours waiting for ER admittance so the hospital does not violate the "reform."
The London Telegraph reports that the government plans to save billions of pounds from the National Health Service budget by making "doctors" out of patients. Instead of consulting a doctor or going to a hospital, patients will be encouraged to carry out "self-care" to curb spending. This proposal actually makes some sense. When health care is "free," frivolous visits to the doctor and/or hospital carry no consequence to the patient. But the Telegraph reports that the NHS is looking to cut down on more than just frivolous visits. It's looking for patients with "arthritis, asthma and even heart failure" to treat themselves.
