I knew it would only be a matter of moments before there would be rationing, waiting lists, reduced access to health care, increased costs (they will NOT be lower). And now the libs not only agree with it (after saying it would never happen) they sare saying "Well, what do you expect, everything you want?" YES! I expect everything I want for MY health care and I am willing to pay for it, or pay for the insurance for it.

The final bill never promised cost controls despite that widespread misperception. Coverage for more people is supposed to be the most positive aspect but you can expect it cost more as the taxpayers will pick up the tab. I assume the wait lists and rationing will be for those on Obamacare.

I wish i had a dollar for every person that's said 'I want free health like they have in Europe......' the thought makes me lose sleep at night. I quickly tell people that nothing's free..you pay for it one way or another and it could be by allowing some faceless beaurocrat decide if you get the care you need to extend your life/improve your quality of life.

You may not pay for it in dollars, but you may with your life.

I'm totally serious. Even though my family paid into the NHS every year for generations and because it is/was a % of your pay - it wasn't the small amount. At the end of it all- what did they get? Lost years & told that they are not worth the cost of the medication? What.....?

Seriously, ANYONE, ANYONE who would even allow the Govt to decide or even allow the Govt to pick the people who ' decide' is crazy. IMO.

I want to add that when i got there and went to the ward, i got told there were no private rooms...that's #######. they put me in one when I was hospitalized there....it was only when i said ' bill me' they found one......

But trying to get my mother through the waiting list for the scan that would have lead to a timely diagnosis was impossible...Months and months of waiting list......even offering to pay cash for it. Too many people ahead....so by the time a scan slot came up---guess what---already in hospital on painkillers only........

Take a large, almost round, rotating sphere about 8000 miles in diameter, surround it with a murky, viscous atmosphere of gases mixed with water vapor, tilt its axis so it wobbles back and forth with respect to a source of heat and light, freeze it at both ends and roast it in the middle, cover most of its surface with liquid that constantly feeds vapor into the atmosphere as the sphere tosses billions of gallons up and down to the rhythmic pulling of a captive satellite and the sun. Then try to predict the conditions of that atmosphere over a small area within a 5 mile radius for a period of one to five days in advance!

I would like to know what cost/benefit criteria is used in Europe, because I witnessed a certain NHS Trusts cost/benefit review 1st hand with my Mum. She was dead within weeks- when here the average life span of someone with her cancer here was years and with some quality of life.

Ask the people who can answer that question honestly if you really care, asking on a message board is disingenuous and makes any response to you beyond being sorry for your loss seem cheap - so I am not going to respond.

Conservatives do not believe the government is the one to choose what "wisely" means. That should be up to the individual. Why should YOU have to pay for MY health care? Why should I have to receive only what someone else decides for me?

Does this theory apply to the concept of privatized health insurance and managed care?

Our journey together on this earth has come to an end.

I will see you one day again, my love.
