Even though the weighty Michael More praised Britains NHS in his movie Sicko they probably wouldn’t treat him according to new laws put in place in England.

Smokers, drinkers and the obese are about to be denied health care there. Just as they deny it for people over 70. Not unless they “change” (the old don’t have that option).

It doesn’t matter that the people being denied health care pay for it. It every country where they have Socialized medicine, there are high taxes that pay for it. You are forced to pay them, just as you are here. But paying taxes is no guarantee they will give you any benefits. All they have to do is pass new rules and they can deny you anything.

Socialized medicine is never the answer. Once you give all the power to bureaucrats, they start turning the screws. They always claim they are going to take care of you, but they never really want to. The services you get from most governments is poor. That’s because large bureaucracies simply fail to work well. And scammers usually drain the system of funds, while the truly needy go without.

Governments should never get too much power over the people’s lives, because the power freaks will abuse it every time. And power freaks are drawn to government like moths to a flame.

The British people need to get a clue about the Labour party. It has sold them out time and time again. How much longer are they going to take it?
