I was talkin about the national healtcare issue with an English friend of mine last night. The conversation went all over the place but something he said about their system wasn't very reassuring.

He told me if you were ill from some condition one of the best things that could happen to you is if you were involved in a car wreck or had some other physically damaging accident. I asked him how the hell that could be so and he said the system was very good at taking immediate care of people if they had an accident but if you had a condition or illness getting treatment was often very untimely.

What he related very specifically was "Our system is very good at helping people in the moment but not very good at all at taking care of the unwell."

Under a healthcare system like that, with the elderly likely to be the most "unwell" segment of the population wouldn't it seem that this segment would also then suffer the most significantly of all?

It doesn't always take "denial of service" or "end of life counseling" for programs to very silently achieve the same goal in the long run.

In a similar move the puppetmaster flatly denied and has continued to deny the healthcare bill would cover illegals, which on the surface sounds good, hell maybe even beneficial, right? Yeah right, except ..... he's made it public knowledge since even before his political campaign that he intends to attempt to extend amnesty/citizenship to the illegals anyway and has even recently been heard to say after healthcare reform is settled that would indeed be his next goal.

So, is he really lying about wanting to give benefits to illegals when he expects for them to soon not be considered illegals Nope, at least not in his eyes
