British Member of the European Parliament Daniel Hannan tells Glenn Beck about the United Kingdom’s national health care program and warns Americans about what it will inevitably mean for us: long waits and delays, rationing by the state, astronomical costs and the end of the traditional doctor-patient relationship.
He also explains why, once the socialized medical bureaucratic structure is in place, it’s HERE TO STAY. He cites a few of the typical waiting periods for some procedures: Cataract surgery: 8 months; Hip replacement: 11 months; Knee replacement: 12 months; Slipped disc: 8 months; Hernia repair: 5 months.
