It's almost like a death panel or something.

Since he was running a government death panel, I suppose you think he was doing a great job and deserves his 6 figure retirement. People like you are truly demented.
Rubbish. He is not losing money by retiring a few months early. The pension pot is still there I am confident.
All the rest is hot air. Not worth the time...

Originally posted by SleepyguySo why don't these veterans have their own health insurance instead of being dependent on government help?
Well no, not really. The veterans CNN has been reporting on waited for months and months just to get an appointment for a diagnostic test like an endoscopy. I could probably get that procedure in the next week or two if my doctor said I needed it.
Now I suppose if the test came back positive and I needed care the insurance company could try to ...[text shortened]... because I was able to get the appointment, because I was not on a secret government death list.

Misplaced trust, perhaps?
But that is beside the point, which is that this is an illustration of why we should not trust government to run health care.
Secondly, it is evidence that government services have to be properly funded if they are to meet their objectives. The US has a neat trick of refusing to support services like this, then displaying shock and amazement when they fall short of expectations.
If you want flawless public services that are beyond reproach, then stop insulting the providers at every turn and start funding them properly.
The neoliberals in England are pulling a comparable stunt - refusing proper funding, interfering to disrupt service provision, enabling profiteering by their pals at the expense of the public service, then staring at the ceiling as they bemoan failings in the service they have just sabotaged.

A truism. Big deal. Improper funding does not excuse 40 dead and a coverup.

Yeah, governments are corrupt. Another illustration of why we should not entrust them with our healthcare.
