Majority of doctors favor socialized medicine

Posted by patriot on March 31st, 2008

Apparently the tide has turned, and more doctors are all too eager for centrally-managed government health care:

More than half of U.S. doctors now favor switching to a national health care plan and fewer than a third oppose the idea, according to a survey published on Monday.

The survey suggests that opinions have changed substantially since the last survey in 2002 and as the country debates serious changes to the health care system.

Of more than 2,000 doctors surveyed, 59 percent said they support legislation to establish a national health insurance program, while 32 percent said they opposed it, researchers reported in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.

Expect some of this.

Socialist healthcare and seniors

Posted by patriot on March 28th, 2008

Daily Mail carries a story of a woman being denied treatment from the socialist medical system due to her age.

A woman of 61 was refused a routine heart operation by a hard-up NHS trust for being too old.

Dorothy Simpson suffers from an irregular heartbeat and is at increased risk of a stroke. But health chiefs refused to allow the procedure which was recommended by her specialist.

And people think that government-funded and -controlled health care in America is the best way to go? Maybe it’s just the young and healthy people clamoring for more intervention.
