Ironically, it makes me sick thinking about it. England’s healthcare is a mess. Seen it. Smelt it.

Kate, the unions (at least the bosses) love it because it will mean more money to skim. Legitimately, of course. Since when have they been concerned about the rank and file?

And the workers in the field will still be employed in the field, doing the same things they do now, probably in the same office with the same desk and computer. The only difference will be where their paycheck will be coming from and they will belong to AFSME or some such union then, and be that much more beholdin’ to the guvmint for what will eventually amount to their welfare check each month.

Not all government workers are modified welfare workers, but as long as the socialists can make more than 50% beholdin’ to them then they don’t have to fear elections.

Because I work in Chicago and live in Indiana I am aware of this democrat skidmark. Shitkowski’s husband is an indicted crook. The local media covers it up as much as possible. From wiki:

On March 11, 2004, Schakowsky’s husband, lobbyist Robert Creamer, the executive director of the Illinois Public Action Fund, was indicted in federal court on 16 counts of bank fraud involving three alleged check-kiting schemes in the mid-1990s, leading several banks to experience shortfalls of at least $2.3 million

What else would we expect from an Illinois Democrat?

I wonder how many in the unions would be willing to give up their platinum health plans in favor of universal care? My husband is a Teamster, unfortunately because you have to be a member to work in the company he is in. We understand that the cost of medical benefits the employer pays as part of his benefits package is about $1000+ a month per family. The coverages are excellent including dental, medical and prescriptions. If the unions are backing universal health care are they also willing to tell their rank and file that they will be losing a great benefit for the greater good of all (what a lie).

Another question, where will all those employed by the health insurance industries go for employment after the go universal….would they just hop over to the government side.

I have seen what Medicare DRA’s are doing to technology….they slow down the advancement of new diagnostics tools and practices because they refuse to pay for anything they deem “experimental” not “standard of care” etc. Usually in the sickest of patients who are looking for help and hope.
