    Just imaging Tim Geithner,Sen Chris Dudd ,managing health care the way they've managed the financial crisis. Your government at work. I can tell you that Medicaid may be mother's milk... but it has taken over a year to get someone who is qualified and already residing in a nursing home their benefits. Who's paying ? Nobody. The nursing home is sicking the lawyers on anyone they can think of to get reimbursed .

    Gordon Brown has apologized after an investigation showed that the British National Health Service run Stafford Hospital was so abyssmally bad that patients drank water out of flowerpots and that too many died in squalor or agony as untrained and undermanned staff were forced to meet “targets” instead of providing the care they advertised. Brown claimed these were “isolated” incidents also .


    Brown apologises for unacceptable failings at Stafford 'Third World' hospital | Mail Online

    The commission's report - revealed in yesterday's Daily Mail - said at least 400 deaths could not be explained, although it is feared up to 1,200 patients may have died needlessly.
    Daily Mail reader replies share some of their "isolated incidents " in the comments .A worthy read.

    Our system serves 90% of the people well. We can do reforms to take care of the rest and handle issues like costs and legal aspects without scrapping the system we have .

    Just an FYI: the Daily Mail is akin to the National Enquirer in the US.

    I'll give you the same heads up about the NY Slimes . I just use them because everyone thinks they are the paper of record.
