Your money. Their schedule

Government run healthcare. All I can think about is the annoyance I feel every time I pay my water bill or a speeding ticket. It's as if government employees are all coming off a caffeine high, their blood sugar crashing, and moving as slowly as possible. In fact, rarely do you even get greeted.
Yep. That's the kind of service I want in my healthcare.



HotAir links to another tragic story of exactly what government healthcare means. This single-payer system Obama is in love with has been in operation forever. It's called the VA. And this is the kind of medical treatment our military experiences:

Amid growing controversy over procedures that exposed 10,000 veterans to the AIDS and hepatitis viruses, the Department of Veterans Affairs is now bracing against news that one of its facilities in Pennsylvania gave botched radiation treatments to nearly 100 cancer patients.

Veterans groups and lawmakers say VA hospitals have permitted these violations because federal regulations allow doctors to work with little outside scrutiny. They say the VA health system, with its under-funded hospitals and overworked doctors, is showing signs of an “institutional breakdown,” in the words of one congressman.

An official with the American Legion who visits and inspects VA health centers said complacency, poor funding and little oversight led to the violations that failed the cancer patients in Philadelphia and possibly infected 53 veterans with hepatitis and HIV from unsterilized equipment at three VA health centers in Florida, Tennessee and Georgia.
