Standard of Living – Madison, Wisconsin

Long wait times and short supply!

As Dr. Robert Berry said at the Palm Beach Atlantic University Forum on Ethics & Character in a speech he titled, “What is the right path for our healthcare crisis?“:

“The only thing universal about healthcare in these two countries [Canada and Britain] is that it is in short supply and requires waits that can only be described as inhumane or unethical.”

Universal health coverage (which fails miserably at attaining the goal of universal health care) in Britain, administered by a government-ran medical bureaucratic-monopoly called NHS, allowed a man to die yesterday because they didn’t have time for him.

Wisconsin’s Dane County government also has a government-ran bureaucratic-monopoly except in 911 emergency service and it allowed two individuals to die as the victims had to wait so long for help to arrive that they were brutally murdered as they waited.  You can read my previous post here about Wisconsin government workers allowing Brittany Zimmermann and Mark Gregory Johnson to be murdered.
