If that were true, the left-wingers, who have majorities in both houses, 
wouldn't have had to withdraw the death panel provision from their 
proposed bill. Sorry. You misfired.

Maybe so in a few, isolated cases. But under your wonderful NHS, those 
WITH insurance are as good as dead. Headline in UK Telegraph 
newspaper, 27 Aug:

"Cruel and neglectful care of one million NHS patients exposed."

Subhead:

"One million NHS patients have been the victims of appalling care in 
hospitals across Briton, according to a major report released today.

Among the findings:

" . . . elderly people left in pain, in soiled bed clothes, denied adequate 
food and drink, and suffering from repeatedly cancelled operations, 
missed diagnoses and dismissive staff."

Yes, government health insurance is truly wonderful. I just pray that we 
here in the U.S. will not be forced to enjoy it's beneficence.

(Incidentally, that's sarcasm. Threatening bodily harm isn't.)
