A government powerful enough to guarantee universal health care

is powerful enough to deny you health care. The latest examples of the glories of “national” (re: socialist) health care come from Britain where more than four in ten maternity units have turned away woman in labor because they have no room.

The wonderful folks running Britain’s health system have also stopped paying for drugs to treat a rare lung disease, imposing a death sentence on patients suffering from this illness and denied heart surgery to a 61 year-old grandmother because she is too old.

Good thing British health care is controlled by selfless bureaucrats and not greedy capitalists!
