US Nationalized Health Care System found using Contaminated Colon Scopes

Um, yeah, throw more money at it. That'll fix it. It's worked swimmingly well with education, hasn't it?

Yeah, more money to reward incompetence. That is the government way.

Heathcliff, you can't spend your way out of these problems. We already spend more per capita than any other country in the world on healthcare and that's WITHOUT universal health care. Just to give you a comparison, Italy who was rated number 1 in healthcare the last time the WHO did a global rating in 2000, spends $2,623 per capita. Here in the US we spend $6,714 per capita. That is NOT an exaggeration.

Money isn't the problem. It's piss poor management by the federal government. As I pointed out in a thread a long time ago, the federal government has proven itself incapable of running anything well.

It's not a lack of funding that brings someone to stick a contaminated rectal probe up someone's colon. It's nothing but the apathy that comes from not being held to any sort of standard.. in other words... government work.

As long as Obama can line his pockets and overbloated ego with money, he doesn't care how many crooks are involved in Medicare.

The entire US military can fall over and die for all Herr Obama cares.. as long as he gets his.

VA Care is an oxymoron.

Nope, I don't fault Obama for it in the least. I do, however, hold it up as typical apathy from bureacratic "employees" who couldn't care less about anything but picking up a guaranteed paycheck.. whether they deserve it or not.

What Obama is proposing is every bit what the VA is. He wants a medical system run by bureacrats.

This didn't happen because of a lack of funding, access, insurance, or any other excuse that is used by Marxists. It is the direct result of lazy, good for nothing people who are quilty of theft with every direct deposit they accept but didn't earn.

The VA is Nationalized Healthcare. Why do you have to look elsewhere when it's already happening in our nation. Most vets who can afford it stay as far away from the VA medical system as they can. The rest are forced into what we'll all be forced into if we listen to Marxists.

This is an outrage for sure. Being an ex military wife what I will say is that the United States does not have enough VA hospitals to accomidate the vets. They are only able to go to these hospitals and be treated at these particular ones. Under the new health plan you will be able to go to any hospital not the choice of just a VA hospital. I live in a city with a Major VA hospital and it is nothing but a huge drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. They make the vets go to another city just to have blood drawn which is absolutely pathetic, it is another VA but it just doesnt make any sense.

Just so people realize hospitals of all sorts have break downs in things being unsanitized all it takes is one person not doing their job properly. We have a ramage of MRSA going on all over the United States in the hospitals. Simply because people dont wash their hands or wear gloves when they should. Whether a federal or privately ran institution this happens everywhere.

Government bureacracies only know how to perpetuate their own self importance. What makes anyone think that this bureacracy will somehow magically be different?

A doctor who would let a diabetic patient with open foot ulcers go 6 months between check ups is no doctor at all! Just a person with fancy paper in frames on walls.

If Obama gets his way there won't be REAL hospitals to go to.
