Can't Wait for Single Payer Health Care?

As you’d expect, after 60 years Britain’s single payer health care system, aka
the National Health Service, is working like a champ. Not.

Britain’s Panorama program sent an undercover nurse to a Brit hospital
and what they found wasn’t very pretty. Reports
Julie Wheldon
in the Daily Mail:

Miss Haywood and undercover reporter Shabnam Grewal,
who delivered food and drink to patients, found:

• An 82-year-old woman dying of cancer who was left in
  almost constant pain because nurses were regularly late giving her
  morphine.
  
  
• Another woman with an infection who was left for
  almost nine hours without fluids and lying in urine because
  staff failed to fix a catheter.
  
  
• An 86-year-old with cancer who did not eat because no one was
  there to help feed her. She died alone with no one even noticing.
  
  
• Food that was thrown away because nurses were too busy to feed
  patients. And nurses eating patients’ food.
  

The hospital, which has the lowest rating of zero stars
and an £8million deficit, had already received a number of
complaints about care on an acute medical ward when filming started.

Sounds great. Let’s copy their system in the US! (Tip to
