DEATH PANELS IN THE UK

It’s funny but when Sarah Palin brought up the great dangers posed by Obamacare, using the term “death panels” to vividly describe possible outcomes, the BBC were quick to get stuck into her. Then, oddly enough, Today covers an item @ 7.45am (no link at time of writing this) in which a group of senior doctors who care for the terminally ill have written a letter in the Telegraph warning that some patients are dying prematurely because of new NHS guidelines in England. It seems to me that our own socialised healthcare system is all the warning the US needs, as Dan Hannan properly observed.
