Another Socialized Medicine "Success" Story: Britain's National Health Service withholds expensive cancer-treating drugs, depending on where the patient lives.



G-man, that story happens everyday in the USA. The difference is it's private insuarance companies rather than a single payer gov. system. I've fought this battle personally for new standard of care medications denied to me by my insurance companies. One of them has made it possible for me to return to work. Thanks to Medicare Plan D I no longer have to fight for my monthly refill. That is a government health care program.



It's true. Neither socialism nor capitalism can provide decent health care.



Medicare is awesome, Dude. It's the best plan I've ever had by far!

$140 a month in premium covers everything! There's no better way to go than fee-for-service, but you can opt for an HMO/PPO if that's your cup of tea. The cost of administration is 9 times less than private insurers (3% v. 28%).
