To understand what "ObamaCare" would mean to Americans, all we have to do is look to the United Kingdom’s National Health Service, which provides universal healthcare. The news headlines in the past two years reveals long waits, rationed care, bureaucracy, and even deaths caused by the failed system.
Member of Parliament Daniel Hannan recently said, “If you want to see what a government-run health care system looks like, you need not look any further than the countries like Canada or Great Britain. They already have in place so-called universal health care, and the results, well, they’re not pretty.”
A sample of recent headlines from the three leading British newspapers, the Times, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph, bear out Mr. Hannan’s warning:
• NHS targets ‘may have lead to 1,200 deaths’ in Mid-Staffordshire
• 11 serious errors a day in NHS surgery
• War hero refused treatment by NHS
• Patients forced to live in agony after NHS refuses to pay for painkilling injections
• Patients with suspected cancer forced to wait so NHS targets can be hit
• NHS dentists play as patients' wait
Liberty Counsel has compiled a list that summarizes and links directly to 14 horror stories that appeared on the pages of these three major UK newspapers. You can read the newspaper reports of government healthcare horror stories on our website. (Here are links to the PDF and html versions.)
