Canadian physician Dr. Brian Day discusses the Canadian Socialized healthcare system

A new website is up: The Faces of Government Healthcare

Before Congress considers any form of government-run health care, they should hear the voices of patients denied care because the government deemed it too costly or delayed care because of long waiting lists for surgery or diagnostic tests.

Any serious discussion of health care reform that does not include choice, competition, accountability and responsibility — the four “pillars” of patients’ rights — will result in our government truly becoming a “nanny-state,” making decisions based on what is best for society and government rather than individuals deciding what is best for each of us.

Check it out…..

3480446526 fa3cb25b71 Shortage of Doctors to Derail Obama Universal Care?

No, the Obama Administration will simply enter the medical marketplace and train more doctors.

Good luck with that.

Obama administration officials, alarmed at doctor shortages, are looking for ways to increase the supply of physicians to meet the needs of an aging population and millions of uninsured people who would gain coverage under legislation championed by the president.

The officials said they were particularly concerned about shortages of primary care providers who are the main source of health care for most Americans.

One proposal — to increase Medicare payments to general practitioners, at the expense of high-paid specialists — has touched off a lobbying fight.

Family doctors and internists are pressing Congress for an increase in their Medicare payments. But medical specialists are lobbying against any change that would cut their reimbursements. Congress, the specialists say, should find additional money to pay for primary care and should not redistribute dollars among doctors — a difficult argument at a time of huge budget deficits.

Some of the proposed solutions, while advancing one of President Obama’s goals, could frustrate others. Increasing the supply of doctors, for example, would increase access to care but could make it more difficult to rein in costs.

Every socialized plan by the Obama Administration and every argument for universal care leads to the main question: Who is going to pay for this?

Unless you ration the care like the United Kingdom’s National Health Service, bureaucratize care and have government price controls, universal health care is simply too expensive for the government to provide. Even with that the NHS provides abysmal care with horror stories at least once a week in the U.K. press.

Now, the Obamacare advocates are worried about the number of primary care physicians. They might want to address the question as to how many doctors will continue to practice if they radically change the health care system in the United States?

The money was used to bring in physiotherapists to help workers recover from muscular-skeletal injuries at West Suffolk Hospital in Bury St Edmunds.

Bosses said it prevented them from leapfrogging NHS patients and enabled them to return to work more quickly.

However, the private treatment, which amounted to £12,116 for 271 appointments over the past year, was described by critics as “shocking”.

Mark Wallace of the TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “Their staff should have to wait like everybody else.

Well, the hospital staff are NOT stupid. They desired timely care which with the NHS and all socialized medicine schemes does NOT happen.

Britain has been struggling with their National Health Service for years and dentistry is slowly evolving into a private system.

America’s private health care system has plenty of detractors but send Americans to Canada or Britain for a while and they will see a stark contrast between accessible care and rationed care.

John McCain talks about his health care reforms in a 60 second TV ad

With all of the hubbub of Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club yesterday, John McCain’s first health care televison ad has almost slipped through the cracks.

What does McCain say?

Nothing glowing but promotes a $5,000 family tax credit to purchase health insurance.

Hillary and Obama have grand sounding health care reform plans that promise the world but mandate insurance and government redistribution to provide the care.

Rudy Giuliani had more of a private sector health care reform plan that McCain should adopt. Or, is that what McCain is trying to say?

captd14c2487810f4f9a8d8zh3 Hillary Clinton Watch: Hillary Care 2.0

Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., speaks at the Service Employees International Union Political Action Conference in Washington, Monday, Sept. 17, 2007.

We all know that Hillary Clinton is a SOCIALIST in health care so the lastest spin on her universal health plan is NOTHING NEW.

Two questions:

1. Who is going to pay the enormous cost of the government program?

2. What will be the new government BUREAUCRACY and NEW RULES?

No HONEST answer so far on number one – partly because there is NO HONEST answer unless you say MASSIVE TAX INCREASES on EVERYONE.

On number 2 here is a sample:

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday that a mandate requiring every American to purchase health insurance was the only way to achieve universal health care but she rejected the notion of punitive measures to force individuals into the health care system.

“At this point, we don’t have anything punitive that we have proposed,” the presidential candidate said in an interview with The Associated Press. “We’re providing incentives and tax credits which we think will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans.”

She said she could envision a day when “you have to show proof to your employer that you’re insured as a part of the job interview — like when your kid goes to school and has to show proof of vaccination,” but said such details would be worked out through negotiations with Congress.

And when Americans do NOT purchase health insurance then what?

Put them in jail? Or prohibit them from working? And the twelve million illegal aliens?

Hillary Care 2.0 like Hillary Care is ill conceived and SILLY.

And Arnold thinks his “POST-PARTISAN” or the Democrat Socialized Universal health care plan with an accompanying tax increase has a chance of passage?

Flap will be laughing all the way to the ballot box.
