Would you like to die a horrible, painful death?

Then just let Obama and the government take over your health care. At this point I have no hope of preventing the takeover. You can shove proof under a Leftist nose and they ignore it. You can provide reams of evidence to a Leftist and they ignore it. You can show the them results of their plans, and a Leftist will blame it on someone else. You can shove a Leftist's failure after failure right under their nose, and they will sniff and proclaim it to be a bouquet of roses.

They are pushing for a system that cannot work, will not work, and more importantly DOES NOT WORK. This isn't some theory. This isn't guesswork. This isn't just on paper, there are real world examples of systems that the Left wants to impose on this country and they all fail to meet the standards set by the American health care system.

Infant mortality rates are often cited as a reason socialized medicine and a single-payer system is supposed to be better than what we have here. But according to Dr. Linda Halderman, a policy adviser in the California State Senate, these comparisons are bogus.

As she points out, in the U.S., low birth-weight babies are still babies. In Canada, Germany and Austria, a premature baby weighing less than 500 grams is not considered a living child and is not counted in such statistics. They're considered "unsalvageable" and therefore never alive.

Norway boasts one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world — until you factor in weight at birth, and then its rate is no better than in the U.S.

In other countries babies that survive less than 24 hours are also excluded and are classified as "stillborn." In the U.S. any infant that shows any sign of life for any length of time is considered a live birth.

A child born in Hong Kong or Japan that lives less than a day is reported as a "miscarriage" and not counted. In Switzerland and other parts of Europe, a baby is not counted as a baby if it is less than 30 centimeters in length.

In 2007, there were at least 40 mothers and their babies who were airlifted from British Columbia alone to the U.S. because Canadian hospitals didn't have room. It's worth noting that since 2000, 42 of the world's 52 surviving babies weighing less than 400g (0.9 pounds) were born in the U.S.

It must be embarrassing to Canada that a G-7 economy and a country of 30 million people can't offer the same level of health care as a town of just over 50,000 in rural Montana. Where will Canada send its preemies and other critical patients when we adopt their health care system?

I hope that the people who voted for Obama are the first ones to die in his health care system. Found via The Smallest Minority.
