How Ted Would Be Dead in England With Liberal Health Care

[New York For Paul]

The New York Post has an article about what happens when you get a brain tumor overseas in countries with socialized healthcare.

a British health-care rationing agency, the National Institute for Comparative Effectiveness, ruled that, while the drug helps people live longer, it wasn't worth the money - and denied coverage for it.

And HealthCanada, the government system, similar refuses to pay for treatments that are often covered in America.

In pushing for government-run health care, liberals are pushing for a system where only the Ted Kennedys of the world can get cutting-edge - and life-saving - care.

Absolutely dishonest.

Our medical infrastructure is a result of federally funded projects, universities and research, and a once unregulated research field... (dwindled greatly now by our regulations on Stem Cells and the like)
