Better yet, tell Hazel Fenton, who nearly died at the hands of the Magical Space Unicorn universal health care system that the British have, and the Left wants us to have.
AN 80-year-old grandmother who doctors identified as terminally ill and left to starve to death has recovered after her outraged daughter intervened.
Hazel Fenton, from East Sussex, is alive nine months after medics ruled she had only days to live, withdrew her antibiotics and denied her artificial feeding. The former school matron had been placed on a controversial care plan intended to ease the last days of dying patients.
Doctors say Fenton is an example of patients who have been condemned to death on the Liverpool care pathway plan. They argue that while it is suitable for patients who do have only days to live, it is being used more widely in the NHS, denying treatment to elderly patients who are not dying.
Gee, you think?

PS: Word of advice to our esteemed colleagues on the Left: should your side happen to eliminate private insurance plans in this country after all, do yourself a favor and have children.
Children who like you.

jeffreywturner (Diary) Sunday, October 11th at 10:15PM EST (link)Obama has no designs on creating single payor healthcare in the US.
We should simply believe him when he says this, despite the fact that he and everyone around him have worked toward that end for their entire adult lives.

45 thousand die in the US every year

Ick.

My (combined) wish list.
Source please?
H (Diary) Saturday, October 17th at 11:55AM EST (link)And a few hundred thousand die every year with health insurance. What’s your point?
Please source the nursing home thing. It’s pretty obviously anecdotal at best, pulled outa yer arse at worst. FActoring into the “culture of death” is all of the “working mothers” who, in the past, stayed home even after the kids were grown and could take care of Mom and Dad in their dotage. Today those working daughters are in the front lines of the “death panel” issue, being “counseled” into “letting Mom or Dad go” at the first sign of their becoming dependent on others for their care.
But they won't, Moe.
yoyo (Diary) Monday, October 12th at 8:12AM EST (link)Most of our ‘esteemed’ colleagues on our left are for Abortion too. Can’t have kids who like you, to take care of you, if you kill them off before birth.
You know?
Could this be what the Dems mean by “Assisted Suicide” unintentionally? By implementing Universal Health Care AND Abortion Activism, they are ensuring that Democrats, as a Party and as an Ideal, will go the way of the Do-Do. You know, Kinda like Russia. When more are dying than being born, the laws of attrition begin to take their affect, and rather quickly at that.
That is my “Hope and Change.”

Who is having large families
diakrioi (Diary) Monday, October 12th at 10:26AM EST (link)The problem is that most people I see around me who are hard working and want the best for their children are having few children. The cretins who sit at home on the dole are the one’s having large families.

H (Diary) Monday, October 12th at 5:25PM EST (link)sanctioned the use of contraceptives at the Lambeth Convention of 1930. Yes this was the era of Margaret Sanger. Those who warned that this move (contraceptives were proscribed by all protestant churches before the 1930 Lambeth Conference) would essentially lead to what we now know as “the culture of death” were dismissed as the “wingnuts” of their day. The mainline protestant churches fell into line with the Anglicans like dominoes from that point..
There were numerous Roman Catholic papal encyclicals (e.g. Pope Paul VI’s “Humanae Vitae”) that drew a clear straight line from contraceptives to abortion, to infanticide, to euthanasia, and, eventually, to pulling the plug on grandma.
The attack on conservatism in general by the left (particularly the MMN) is nothing new to any Catholic – or fundie evangelical for that matter – who has held on to social conservatism as a matter of faith.
Sorry about the double post… accidental button push.
