How Do You Think Federal Health care will reign in costs?

You thought the Tea Party and their government run health care were just lying? Hah.Lets look at how it’s going in England, with their NHS. Horror’s it’s the pretty part.

Daily Mail reporter writes about her experience with England’s NHS.

Lying in an ambulance, drifting in and out of consciousness, I managed to ask the paramedics where they were taking me. ‘St George’s Hospital in Tooting,’ came the reply.

Almost everyone I know locally has a story to tell about its services falling short. I once turned up at its minor injuries unit with a hole through my hand–the result of my horse confusing me with the carrot–and was refused treatment filled in a two-page questionnaire about my ‘lifestyle choices’.

Agony: Melissa Kite was taken to St George’s, Tooting – where, as the Daily Mail reported last week, Kane Gorny died of dehydration

My 17 hours of hell at hospital where a patient died of thirst: Left unattended in agony, one writer’s account of her ordeal at an NHS ‘centre of excellence’

Lying in an ambulance, drifting in and out of consciousness, I managed to ask the paramedics where they were taking me. ‘St George’s Hospital in Tooting,’ came the reply.

If I could have jumped out and made a run for it, I would have. I was in desperate need, but I think I would rather have put up with an ambulance ride to the other side of the country.

However, St George’s – where 22-year-old Kane Gorny died of dehydration – has been my local hospital for ten years. In an emergency, I was always going to be taken there.

I had no idea then that a patient had died from thirst. My fear of the place was born from my own bitter experiences.
