British View On Our Health Care Debate
It’s over
By Andrew deRenzy
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009, 0:13A bit curious of how some British view our health care debate, you can find how they feel about their own care. Daniel Hannon has been vocally passionate extensively on FoxNEWS. And there has been a twittergasm of people “saved” by NHS, they would not be alive if it was not for Britains socialized medicine. But I assure you the dead cannot twit.
Andrew Alexander writes:
It is thanks to the skill of particular doctors, surgeons and their nursing teams if you have been cured of a perilous disease. And probably thanks also to drugs developed by those profit-seeking drug firms which the Left regularly denounces.
Such episodes rarely tell you much about the system itself – unless it involves a distressing delay. Then you can envy other nations’ arrangements with shorter waiting lists.
The cost to the country of the NHS, since you ask, works out at about £2,000 a head, though difficulties arise through our simplistic way of accounting.If you tell a family man with two children that he pays about £8,000 a year for the NHS, he will be taken aback.
There already is an assumption propagated by the left that this will cost us nothing! How preposterous is that? The bill makes economic sense if you are a 5 year old who messed up the door on his lego house, so he has to wreck the whole thing to fix the one issue.
And now there’s talks of co-op’s, is Obama throwing fecal matter to the wall and seeing what sticks? It doesn’t matter, it still reeks of a terrible plan that they want to ram down our throats in an attempt to squeeze out the private sector innovation that has driven not just our country into medical prosperity, but the world.
Go ahead throw poop at our faces, see how we react.
