National Healthcare in Britain: They just canceled 50,000 surgeries...

This is what Democrats want for Americans. It's not about improving health care for Americans; it's about dragging us all down to equal substandard care, but hey, everyone will have it and it will be "free."

If it is so substandard, then why does their population enjoy better health outcomes?

Because they have fewer cars in their country, and they count dead babies differently.

You, of course, just completely made that up.

Wrong. Democrats want a non-profit private single-payer insurance company to separate the insurance from the providers like it used to be.

But as I've pointed out to you before, if Reagan hadn't fucked with the HMO act to make medical corporations wealthier we'd not be having a problem today.

He always makes up fact. He's pro big-pharma, gun manufactures, Putin, Koch, destroying our natural resources, but his biggest hate of all is the working class.

The only reason why there are cuts to NHS, is because of the conservative party in the UK. The Tories are much like the republicans here in America. They also lack human decency like Republicans do. They created this mess.

This is what conservatives do, create chaos and make everyday people suffer.

Welcome to the military healthcare system...

Stick to the topic of the thread and also dial back on the vulgar language

Hear you loud and clear but it's embarrassing to hear some one post that America has never been invaded before, where does these kids learn about history?

And back to the topic Sarah Palin was right about death panels just look at the OP

Did you know that God operates a death panel no matter what kind of healthcare you receive...??

If democrats actually wanted a public option, I would still be a registered democrat. Democrats wouldn't have lost in 2016 if they were for such progressive programs.

What democrats want is more affordable health care ( but not too affordable because their donors still need to make money). We pay more in Healthcare than any other 1st world nation in the world. It's ridiculous we have folks in debt because of medical bills.

You can bet your ass that the Royal Family (and rock stars) would have a surgeon at their side in a heart beat. The point is that the British elite get all the health care they need while the rabble scrambles and suffers. Not much different from King George two hundred years ago..

at this rate their health program will rate right there with cuba

Reagan repealing the HMO act was VERY BAD.

Yep.....the problem with socialized medicine...you run out of money......and then you have to stop giving even crap care to your people...and the really funny part....you have taxed those people at about 60% on their incomes to pay for healthcare you will no longer give them.....

Socialized medicine...when you want to pay for healthcare, but don't want actual medical treatment....

Great moments in single payer: Britain cancels 50,000 surgeries - Hot Air

The UK’s vaunted single-payer system has collapsed into “third world” conditions, thanks to a lack of resources that has ambulances unable to pick up patients, who would find difficulty in getting an empty bed at a hospital. The order came down this week from on high to cancel as many as 50,000 scheduled surgeries over the next several weeks until the National Health Service can figure out how to climb out of the hole (via Guy Benson):

SEE ALSO: Iran protests dying down?

Every hospital in the country has been ordered to cancel all non-urgent surgery until at least February in an unprecedented step by NHS officials.

The instructions on Tuesday night – which will see result in around 50,000 operations being axed – followed claims by senior doctors that patients were being treated in “third world” conditions, as hospital chief executives warned of the worst winter crisis for three decades.

Hospitals are reporting growing chaos, with a spike in winter flu leaving frail patients facing 12-hour waits, and some units running out of corridor space.

It’s not just the hospitals, either. The NHS will close down outpatient clinics as well, leaving Britons with very few options for healthcare at the beginning of 2018:

I will let the Iron Lady speak for me...

The real cause of the surgery cancelations was ransom ware attacks. Their computer systems were shut down at the peak of a flue epodemic. We have had many surgeries right here in the United states canceled due to the same reason, just not so many on one day. Here is the realy fucked up funney part of it. Our government is some what to blame, the ransom ware takes advantage a National Security Agency hacking tool called Eternal Blue, brought to you by the stupid fucks that created the patriot act. I am not complaining as I am currently making a mint getting rid of ransom ware, but I would be if I needed to go to the hospital. This can happen in the united States too.

Yes....they make up the categories and they favor socialist countries...then they fail to add in the cost of maintaining an effective millitary, which we pay for so they can afford their social welfare states...

And......all of those countries, their socialized medical systems are running out of money...
