Single Payer System Leads to Sidewalk Birth in the UK

The back and forth bickering over the Obama/Pelosi/Waxman/Reid Death Care plan has sparked some major retaliatory sniping in defense of the single payer system from the UK. Just as if it were made to order, the Daily Mail is reporting that a woman gave birth to her child on a sidewalk after being refused ambulance transport.

A young mother gave birth on a pavement outside a hospital after she was told to make her own way there.

Mother-of-three Carmen Blake called her midwife to ask for an ambulance when she went into labour unexpectedly with her fourth child.

But the 27-year-old claims she was refused an ambulance and told to walk the 100m from her house in Leicester to the city’s nearby Royal Infirmary.[1]

That’s a fabulous system. Have a pregnant woman, IN LABOR, walk to the hospital. Yet this is the type of system that Obama favors.

Also in the news related to the Obama/Pelosi/Waxman/Reid Death Care proposal is a story about Vancouver and it’s impending need to cut the number of surgeries performed. The story appearing on the Vancouver Sun’s online version warns patients who require Neurosurgery, vascular surgery, and other necessary procedures that it may be a longer wait to save their lives.

Vancouver Coastal Health Authority document shows it is considering chopping more than 6,000 surgeries in an effort to make up for a dramatic budgetary shortfall that could reach $200 million.[2]

And finally, AARP is seeing a major loss of membership. Some 60,000 members are leaving AARP citing the group’s endorsement of the Obama/Pelosi/Waxman/Reid Death Care bamboozle.

About 60,000 senior citizens have quit AARP since July 1 due to the group’s support for a health care overhaul, a spokesman for the organization said Monday.

The membership loss suggests dissatisfaction on the part of AARP members at a time when many senior citizens are concerned about proposed cuts to Medicare providers to help pay for making health care available for all.[3]

Ya Think?!?

What I find incredibly humorous (or at least it would be if this issue wasn’t so damned dangerous) is the fact that in the past couple of days we’ve heard rumors reported as almost verified fact that the so-called ‘public option’ had been pulled from the bill. Today we find out that Democrats are willing to “Go It Alone”[4] on the Death Care sham in order to please the ultra liberal, Daily POS base of the Party.

I’m thinking the Blue Dogs are going to be in a position to dictate to the libs after this fails. Perhaps there could be a new Speaker when this is all said and done?
