Let's Emulate the British Health Care System

Sen. Barack Hussein Obama has pushed for socialized medicine from his early days in Chicago. Amazingly, it's the sole issue I think he's stuck by and not flip-flopped on. Of course, he does what most liberals do and renames it; liberals are now "progressives" and socialized medicine is now "universal health care." but why quibble?

Anyway, he wants us to have a heath care system akin to those of Britain and Canada where you are essentially covered from cradle to grave--however you may have to wait from infancy to retirement years to see a specialist and that specialist may not actually be one.

But what has socialized medicine wrought for these nations that would make it appealing to Americans? Certainly not this:

The cleanliness of most NHS hospitals in England is threatened by frequent invasions of rats, fleas, bedbugs, flies and cockroaches, a report claims.

Figures released by the Conservatives show that 70% of NHS Trusts brought in the pest controllers at least 50 times between January 2006 and March 2008.

Vermin were found in wards, clinics and even operating theatres. A patients' group said the situation was revolting.

But health chiefs played down fears the infestations could lead to disease.

The figures were obtained by the Conservatives under the Freedom of Information Act, with every hospital asked to reveal how often pest controllers had visited over the two-year period in question.

Thank goodness the "health chiefs" played it down.

Yeah, I want to go from nice, clean, sterile hospitals to one where I can watch mice and rats scurry around or even better yet; just before I am put under anesthesia, I can look over and see a few cockroaches running my way.

Just another great moment in socialized medicine and Obama wants it for us here in the good old US of A.
