Brits Might Move to a More Competition Style Healthcare System

As the debate begins on Capital Hill about Obamacare and the deep divide between most Democrats and Republicans on this issue, a new initiative is taking place across the pond.


British Prime minister David Cameron says he plans to open up their national Health Service to competition.

Cameron's plans to shake up Britain’s universal health care system that will transfer much decision making authority to general practitioners, and thus bypassing administrators to cut out bureaucracy.

“We need modernization on both sides of the equation. Modernization to do something about the demand for public health service, and modernization to make the supply of health care more efficient, which is about opening up the system, making it more competitive, cutting out waste and bureaucracy.”

But, like always, those who benefit from a socialized healthcare system complain the loudest. The unions!

Gail Cartmail, assistant general secretary of Unite, Britain's largest union doesn't agree with the reform.

“A great number of people are telling us that they think these untested, expensive health care reforms are very unwise and very, very risky,”.

And, like always, they point to some other country to make their point, but avoid the opinions of others to help save Great Britain's money in the long run.

“In Shanghai, the average child is two years ahead of a child here. In Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Austria, or, interestingly, Poland, you are less likely to die once admitted into hospital after a heart attack than you are in the U.K.”

UMMMM not to many children die from heart attacks………………. Poor talking point.

The government’s flagship health and social care bill will be published Wednesday.

So it appears that Great Britain might be moving in the direction of more freer market competition style of healthcare, while Obama’s America is moving towards a European style of healthcare system.
Go figure!

NAACP blind to Tea Party Reality

Here is a good piece of reading, from a African-American Tea Party Patriot.

"I Condemn the NAACP: It Needs to Wake Up!"

Emery McClendon a member of the Project 21 black leadership network and a tea party organizer and speaker in Indiana. His essay for Project 21 on the tea parties appeared in Freedom’s Journal magazine. McClendon is a disabled veteran of the U S Air Force, a lifetime member of the Disabled American Veterans and the founder of Amateur Radio Military Appreciation Day.And Emery's take on this controversial attitude by the NAACP:I condemn the NAACP. I am really upset over their recent charge that the tea party movement is racist. When will these people wake up?What is the basis of their allegations? Speaking from experience, I will say that the claims they seem to be relying upon are false. The NAACP has once again been duped by the left.

I organized a tea party rally in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have also travelled around the State of Indiana speaking at similar events. I have attended events and rallies with other conservative groups in Chicago, Detroit, Washington, DC and elsewhere. I can say that these events were open to anyone that wished to attend. I was even recently awarded a plaque by a tea party group in Madison County, Indiana. Is this racism?

Wake up, NAACP!

UPDATE: Democrats "Racist" agenda has been exposed-From Big Government.com Andrew Breitbart
This from Mary Frances Berry, appointed to the head of the US Commission on Civil Rights by Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, has been quoted as authoring the following Statement:


"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness."


I have said it once before... THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR IT (Calling the Tea Party racist). I strongly suggest to everyone, DO NOT GET CAUGHT UP IN THIS DIVERSION. It's a Saul Alinsky tactic.
