To Whom it May Concern,
Advice from the well meaning, experienced British deserves consideration in reference to a national health care plan!
People that are in favor of government health care should
be advised of the problems occuring in the UK and also in
Canada involved in their health programs. Personal health
care and governmental controls in such maters have been a
major in those countries. We have had enough to address on
health care from insurance companies and drug companies more aggrevation is not acceptable.

Daniel Hannan should really know better. The NHS has many weaknesses and bad points, but these are largely down to the politicians, including his own Conservative Party. His comments were not accurate. Regarding emergencies, children, routine medical needs the NHS works very well. Regarding things like cancer and treatment of the elderly the NHS is a disgrace. But like too many administrators and other problems, these are political choices by politicians for which the public will not hold them accountable. Frankly, in some ways the NHS is superior to what purports to be medicine in America. A truly honest debate on the issue would look at both the strengths and weaknesses of the NHS. Put it this way, if your child has an accident or needs surgery, it will happen and as soon as they can fit it in and no one will ask you for money or tailor the treatment according to how much you can pay.

IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW GOOD THE BILL MIGHT LOOK. THE FACT IS THAT NOWHERE IN OUR CONSTITUTION IS THERE ALLOWANCE FOR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WELFARE. APPROXIMATELY 90% OF THE GOVERNMENT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

For about a hundred years, America has been a nation of accumulating medical controls. Each new regulation was passed with the same justification made for the previous one: This measure will sufficiently correct the failings of the free market and thus save the free-market system. And the result? Today’s “crisis in health care” — as the welfare statists themselves call this iatrogenic disease. The more band-aids are applied, the more wounds appear! And with nothing but band-aids in their bags, these “liberals” (often the same aging advocates of past regulation) can now prescribe only covering the patient head to toe — i.e., the final move to the outright socialization of all medicine. What this says about the microcosm of medicine is obvious; what it means for our mixed economy is ominous.

As a practicing physician who completed an MBA in’04 with a course in comparative medicine taken in France/England, I concur with Mr. Hannan and am very fearful and scared of the proposed health plan. It must not pass.
