(new nation) — we rarely actually see the future, but the future of socialized healthcare is already here.
Nurses and ambulance drivers went on strike this week with predictable results. Some UK hospital officials have warned that “a person suspected of having a stroke or heart attack is very likely to be asked to go to the hospital on their own”.
In such a situation, even an elderly person who collapses at home is unlikely to receive help.
Elizabeth Davis did not receive an ambulance. A 93-year-old man was screaming in pain on his bed. She waited her 25 hours for her ambulance.
The Welsh ambulance service is now apologizing. The woman’s home care and her family called for help 10 times after she collapsed.
Predictably, you say the British are the worst in the last seven years, right? Because socialized medicine never gets better. It keeps getting worse.
A quick look at the UK National Health System website shows that sick children wait 14 weeks, or over 3 months, to see their first surgeon.
So why is America talking about the British healthcare system a few days before Christmas? Because that system could be here.
The COVID emergency is all about Medicaid, wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal.The program was designed as a safety net, but the Biden administration wants to expand beyond that.
Medicaid is Bernie Sanders’ path to a healthcare utopia with predictable outcomes. It just overlooks the English Pond.
The great late Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher explained the problem of socialized health care:
“I think they have caused the greatest financial turmoil in this country that any government has made in a long time. And socialist governments traditionally mess up their finances. will run out of money.”
In effect they are now running out of other people’s money in the UK. Now we must decide whether we want the same future here in America.
