Repeat After Me: There Are No Death Panels in Socialized Heathcare...

In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, a group of experts who care for
the terminally ill claim that some patients are being wrongly judged
as close to death.
Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and
medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and
drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they
pass away.

"Doctors and medical staff...can."

So, where are the governmental death panels?



But this approach can also mask the signs that their condition is
improving, the experts warn.

As a result the scheme is causing a "national crisis" in patient
care, the letter states. It has been signed palliative care experts
including Professor Peter Millard, Emeritus Professor of Geriatrics,
University of London, Dr Peter Hargreaves, a consultant in Palliative
Medicine at St Luke's cancer centre in Guildford, and four others.

"Forecasting death is an inexact science," they say. Patients are
being diagnosed as being close to death "without regard to the fact
that the diagnosis could be wrong.

"As a result a national wave of discontent is building up, as family
and friends witness the denial of fluids and food to patients."

The warning comes just a week after a report by the Patients
Association estimated that up to one million patients had received
poor or cruel care on the NHS.

We certainly know the same and worse is true of the US health care system.
45 million are uninsured, for starts.


45 million are also without employment.

We do not need our president manipulating the current health care
system, much less force feeding a "new plan" which he and his little
industry back scratcher buddies claim is viable, but that will clearly
cost us far too much just in implementation alone.

In other words, you're an idiot if you think our chief should be
worrying about that or any other stupid, high cost "plans".

He has to be the most retarded president we have ever had, despite his
glorious educational background claims.

Even those are questionable if his actions indicate that all he did at
Harvard was attend.
