Welcome to Your Government-Provided Health Care Utopia1. Vet Finally Gets Appointment to See His VA Doctor, Two Years After He Died. Douglas Chase had brain cancer. His wife, Suzanne Chase, survives him. In 2012, a year after her husband’s diagnosis, [Douglas] Chase attempted to move his care in Boston to a nearby veteran’s hospital in Bedford. [Suzanne] said they waited for four months with no reply but Doug died in August 2012. That's injury. Here's insult: "Then at the bottom they said they wanted a quick response," Chase told ABC's Boston affiliate WCVB. "A veteran who collapsed in an Albuquerque Veteran Affairs hospital cafeteria, 500 yards from the emergency room, died after waiting 30 minutes for an ambulance," the Associated Press reported on Thursday. "Officials at the hospital Thursday confirmed it took a half an hour for the ambulance to be dispatched and take the man from one building to the other, which is about a five minute walk." Splendid. We must not rest until these people are properly punished with bonuses and promotions. Sometimes, in your Socialized Medicine Future, your health is going to be less important than servicing the current political needs of the Rulership Class. You're just going to have to get used to this, peons. Cavuto: How is that performance measured? Yes, government begins to grow even more corrupt in order to hide the mistakes it makes in socialized government medicine. If Lois Lerner's hard drive fails conveniently when we're investigating mere targeting by the IRS, imagine what the government will do when it's actually at fault for the deaths of people. A while ago, Charles Cooke had a great piece in which he warned that, based on Britain's experience with the NHS, the biggest menace of Obamacare was not what the government would do to medicine, but instead what socialized medicine would do to the government. Because mistakes in delivering health care are catastrophic for those seeking reelection or trying to push an agenda, politicians in Britain spend the vast majority of their time worrying about perceived rather than actual improvement. Government, by definition, has no competition, which means that those who staff it can lie and spin and cover up mistakes not just with impunity but with the full force of the state at their back. Thus do results become less important than statistics, reforms less important than spending, and patients less important than careers. Dishonesty is widespread. Per the Telegraph, the British National Audit Office discovered in 2013 thatone in four hospitals is recording false waiting list times, with patients waiting on average three weeks longer than NHS records show. | Recent Comments
