Will ObamaCare be as Good as the NHS in the United Kingdom?

Barack Obama 'Promises' that 'ObamaCare' will NOT cause and undue burden on Medical Practitioners and there will be NO "ObamaCare" rationing and Barack Obama further 'Promises' that 'ObamaCare' will bring 'Better' Health services to the 'ObamaCare' Patients.

The Doctor to patient numbers in America are somewhere around 1500 (or less) for the average of a General Practitioner.

'ObamaCare' would mean adding 30,000 new Doctors for the 45,000,000 new patients.

The Nurse to Doctor numbers are around 2 - 5 on average in America.

'ObamaCare' would mean adding 60,000 - 150,000 new Nurses for the 45,000,000 new patients.

This does NOT include facilities and other necessary staff and more Hospitals.

Why the NHS is bad for us:

As you read this, in almost every hospital in the country, there will be elderly, vulnerable people left for hours and sometimes days on trolleys.

Each year, thousands of British people - the young, the old, the rich, the poor - die unnecessarily from lack of diagnosis, lack of treatment and lack of drugs.

They die and suffer unnecessarily for different reasons, but there is just one root cause: the blind faith the Government has in the ideology of the National Health Service, and our unwillingness to accept not just that it doesn't work, but that it can never work.

The very structure of the NHS ensures that we will never spend enough on health in this country, and it will ensure that far too many patients get appalling treatment.

The NHS is the last of the communist-style command-economy state organisations, the largest employer in the free world.

Patients are too often horrendously abused by hospitals because they cannot go anywhere else.

Too often I have spoken to patients who have been appallingly treated by a doctor or hospital but who are terrified to say anything because they still depend on that doctor and hospital for treatment.

NHS Kills 130,000 Elderly Every Year:

NHS doctors are prematurely ending the lives of thousands of elderly hospital patients because they are difficult to manage or to free up beds, a senior consultant claimed yesterday.

Professor Patrick Pullicino said doctors had turned the use of a controversial ‘death pathway’ into the equivalent of euthanasia of the elderly.

He claimed there was often a lack of clear evidence for initiating the Liverpool Care Pathway, a method of looking after terminally ill patients that is used in hospitals across the country.

It is designed to come into force when doctors believe it is impossible for a patient to recover and death is imminent.

It can include withdrawal of treatment – including the provision of water and nourishment by tube – and on average brings a patient to death in 33 hours.

Patients Dying in Hospital from Dehydration:

Hundreds of patients are dying of thirst in hospitals. 22-year-old Kane Gorney had been admitted to one of the UK’s top teaching hospitals for hip replacement surgery, but within three days he’d died of thirst, after medical staff ignored both his pleas for water and the symptoms of dehydration that experts say are ‘easy to recognise’.

When Kane, in desperation, rang 999 on his mobile, a policeman who responded to his call witnessed him shouting repeatedly to the nursing staff: ‘Can I have some water?’

The response of doctors and nurses on the ward was to sedate him, without giving him intravenous fluids or monitoring him as he lay unconscious.

First and foremost, there has been widespread condemnation of the extraordinary inhumanity of staff who refused water to a dying man left immobile and unable to get out of bed as a result of surgery.

Equally alarming, however, is that these healthcare professionals failed to recognise the symptoms of dehydration, or to appreciate the significance of his desire for water.

Instead, according to the coroner, nurses ‘felt he had a fixation with water’.

Patients Dying from Malnutrition:

Since 1997, 2,311 hospital patients have died from malnutrition and the effects of hunger in NHS Hospitals.

There can be no excuses, the least that patients should be able to expect is to be fed properly when they go into hospital for treatment.

'But unfortunately NHS frontline staff are often overburdened by red tape and paperwork and are consistently being spread too thin and too wide across the service.

Food is often so unappetising that patients do not eat - and 11 million meals are taken away untouched every year.

Sometimes food is placed out of patients' reach and taken away untouched, because nurses claim they are too busy to help patients eat.

Dying While Waiting for Tests:

Dr. Uday Pathak General Practitioner who watched his wife die after begging hospital doctors to do cancer test for SEVEN MONTHS! The 62-year-old Doctor suspected his wife had cancer and urged medics to carry out an immediate full body scan. Tragically, they delayed for seven months and 54-year-old Pradnya later died of the disease.

Today, after an inquest heard the grandmother may have recovered if diagnosed sooner, Dr Pathak accused doctors of ‘incompetence’.

‘The hospital totally mismanaged her care and were totally negligent,’ Dr. Uday Pathak said. ‘If something like this can happen to me, what is happening for everyone else? I believe we lost eight months through clinical incompetence.’

People are dying from lack of care:

The NHS remains lousy at accountability, partly because clinicians often don't know what happens to patients down the line. No feed back means no learning and no improvement of care.

Emily Fisher , aged 86 , went back home in Grove park after being cared for by her family in hospital when she was refused food and drink by medical staff.

13 Year Old Boy Dies Waiting for 30 Minute Operation:

A teenage boy was left to die in agony after 'chaotic and substandard' care at Great Ormond Street Hospital, the parliamentary health service ombudsman ruled.

Arvind Jain, 13, died from malnutrition after waiting eight months for a routine 30-minute operation to insert a feeding tube into his stomach.

A scathing report has now found that Arvind, who suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a condition that causes muscles to weaken, would have survived were it not for a series of delays by the hospital.

Sentenced to Death for Being Old:

When Kenneth Warden was diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer, his hospital consultant sent him home to die, ruling that at 78 he was too old to treat.

Even the palliative surgery or chemotherapy that could have eased his distressing symptoms were declared off-limits because of his age.

His distraught daughter Michele Halligan accepted the sad prognosis but was determined her father would spend his last months in comfort. So she paid for him to seen privately by a second doctor to discover what could be done to ease his symptoms.

Thanks to her tenacity, Kenneth got the drugs and surgery he needed — and as a result his cancer was actually cured. Four years on, he is a sprightly 82-year-old who works out at the gym, drives a sports car and competes in a rowing team.

‘You could call his recovery amazing,’ says Michele, 51. ‘It is certainly a gift. But the fact is that he was written off because of his age. He was left to suffer so much, and so unnecessarily.’

Sadly, Kenneth’s story is symptomatic of a dreadful truth. According to shocking new research by Macmillan Cancer Support, every year many thousands of older people are routinely denied life-saving NHS treatments because their doctors write them off as too old to treat.
