British "death panels", denial of care
"Death panels" and denial of care are inevitable consequences of having state-operated healthcare (whether they are in any health proposal officially or not). The limits of the system are reached when the budget runs out, and then ways of compromising to spread available resources need to be found, which is where planners come in. Who lives and who dies? Their choice.

Telegraph - Sentenced to death on the NHS
In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, a group of experts who care for the terminally ill claim that some patients are being wrongly judged as close to death.
Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.
But this approach can also mask the signs that their condition is improving, the experts warn.
As a result the scheme is causing a “national crisis” in patient care, the letter states. It has been signed palliative care experts including Professor Peter Millard, Emeritus Professor of Geriatrics, University of London, Dr Peter Hargreaves, a consultant in Palliative Medicine at St Luke’s cancer centre in Guildford, and four others.
“Forecasting death is an inexact science,”they say. Patients are being diagnosed as being close to death “without regard to the fact that the diagnosis could be wrong.
“As a result a national wave of discontent is building up, as family and friends witness the denial of fluids and food to patients."
The warning comes just a week after a report by the Patients Association estimated that up to one million patients had received poor or cruel care on the NHS.

Undebunkable Chemtrails Video That The "Debunkers" Ignore...
...and yes, Chemtrails interfere with weather
(but why they are used, no-one fully knows...)
And You Tell Me There's No Suppressed Technology?
It's another of those 'conspiracy theories' that good citizens don't notice. Imagine the standard of living if all the secret technology was released to the public...we'd be "free and independent" as JFK said! No more poverty anywhere! Can you imagine being sick enough to withhold such technology from society just to maintain your position of control? (Bearing in mind that we don't know just how much technological capability is being withheld, because, duh, it's secret.) What did Nikola Tesla really develop?
Individual Liberty? But that's "selfish"!
No, we need to look after each other voluntarily without having a government do all that at gunpoint. Sounds absurd at first but soon you realise that the reason it sounds so is because of the very unfree nature of our current existence. Envision greater possibilities! Ok, some kind of massive wake-up would be needed before this kind of free, responsible, uncontrollable society could emerge. And that's what we are seeing day by day in the world - a massive waking up of the previously enslaved masses (including myself I must add!)

That video at the end of your post was scary. But the last part was funny too! Yep, I I'll mark this down and pass it along when I get the chance!

But Johann, why don't you want "The Best"! :P
It may be slighly exaggerated, but it gets the point across. The main problem is shortages. Shortages of doctors, shortages of surgery spots or shortages of beds, whatever it may be, because there's little incentive to provide a competitive service when you don't have anyone to compete with (but there's a lot of pressure to restrict spending).
Northern General Hospital, Sheffield does/did not have a problem with 'shortages' when Thomas Milner - Case No. 6 Patients Association Report was there.
It was bad nursing, bad attitude and a failing Dr. that left him laying in his own blood and urine and didn't administer the correct terminal pain control medication.
17/10/09 and Cancer Tsar Mike Richards spins 'Mandatory Training is Needed for those caring for the dying'. Wasn't that OBVIOUS?
