A Dose of Reality

Want an idea what health care will be like under an Obama or Rodham Clinton presidency? Just pick up any British newspaper. Here's one recent story from theDaily Mail:

Dorothy Simpson suffers from an irregular heartbeat that gives here an increased chance of heart failure and stroke. Her doctor recommended a surgery to correct the problem. Great Britain's National Health Service rejected the doctor's request, saying the 61-year-old was too old. After the media began inquiring about the decision, the NHS decided Simpson wasn't too old after all.

Welcome to the wacky world of socialized medicine.

Free healthcare is being considered an inalienable right by some. There is actually no such thing as free healthcare. Someone will pay for it.
