Public Option is the road to Single Payer Rep. John Dingell Jr. “It's way different than Dad's bill. Dad's bill was a single-payer, and frankly I'm a single-payer. I've seen what the Canadians do, the French do, the British, the Germans and the Japanese, and it works. I've always felt: Get what it is that works.” Good Hope Hospital, a Government run entity in the UK, members of the Housekeeping staff were reminded that washing sheets cost about $0.40 per washing. The solution was to “just turn over” the sheets between patients. Waiting times are shorter than ever.. in a 06 UK Government press release.. Yep that’s right instead of a 7-12 month wait for surgery it is now only 6 months. But wait for it.. The new Government program DESIGNED to decrease waiting times.. actually made those waits increase from 20% to 143% in most cases. Oh the decrease where there for about 1% of the cases waiting.. Dental insurance in the UK.. Almost half of the dentist say they will not accept patients using Government Healthcare. That has led to about 1 in 5 people deciding against ANY dental care because the cost is so high… The solution The Government negotiated a new contract with dentist.. The result.. 58% of the dentist said it made the situation WORSE.... 84% of patients said it did not help them locate a new dentist.. and then there is NICE.. National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.. Their mission.. to develop a “standard method of rationing”. What type of rationing.. Well ..Tykerg a drug that has been proved to extend the life and even save the life of Breast Cancer patients is just too darned expensive to supply this life saving drug to their patients. In the UK about 20% of patients with TREATABLE colon cancer at the time of discovery are considered INCURABLE by the time the treatment is available. and this is the system these guys want to copy..
