Health care in Britain: question a doctor and lose your children

Story from The London Times. (H/T Stop the ACLU via ECM)

Excerpt:

* The mother of a 13-year-old girl who became partly paralysed after being given a cervical cancer vaccination says social workers have told her the child may be removed if she (the mother) continues to link her condition with the vaccination.

* A couple had all six of their children removed from their care after they disputed the necessity of an invasive medical test on their eldest daughter. Doctors, who suspected she might have had a blood disease, called for social services to obtain an emergency protection order, although it was subsequently confirmed that she was not suffering from the condition. The parents were still considered unstable, and all their children were taken from them.

* A single mother whose teenage son is terminally ill and confined to a wheelchair has been told he is to become the subject of a care order after she complained that her local authority’s failure to provide bathroom facilities for him has left her struggling to maintain sanitary standards.

You can question the service provider in a free market capitalist health care system – they have no power to ruin your life if you try to oppose them. But you can’t question the service provider in a government-run health care system. That’s treason, according to some Democrats. How dare you oppose the vision of the annointed? They’re better than you!

Well, actually some people are questioning government, and doing a pretty good job of it. Take a look at these two women at town halls.

From Michelle Malkin:

It’s stories like this that make me despair of ever getting married and having children. Something goes wrong in the minds of people on the left so that they can commit the most abominable atrocities – even taking people’s children away from their own parents! Who wants to live in a world like that?

And the young people seem to be so enthusiastic about being coerced by a secular government – and why not? Parents just hand their children off to government-run schools who cannot tell the truth but must advocate for more and more government. That’s how they get raises after all.

Here are some encouraging videos that show how upset some Americans are about Democrats wanting to bring socialized medicine here.
