Socialized Health Care
Yup, this is what we need in America -- bring the efficiency of Government and the compassion of bureaucrats to health care.
Samizdata tells the story of a hospital that ran out of mops. I think I liked the happy ending best:
After replacement mops arrived on Thursday, a source revealed that hospital staff celebrated.The insider revealed: "People were dancing around the boxes, singing and chanting, 'We have mops.' " The source added: "No wonder our hospitals are riddled with MRSA superbugs and such like if they can't get something as simple as this right."
Hate to beat up on our British brethren, but this matches another story I linked to on NHS care.
I owe a lot of money, but my wife is alive because of the amazing treatment received in private American hospitals.
Lots I like about Britain, but let's NOT import the NHS!
