UK'S NHS MUST SEND PATIENTS TO PRIVATE HOSPITALS FOR TIMELY CARE

LANCASHIRE TELEGRAPH:

EMERGENCY funding totalling £160,000 has been set aside so that more than 40 patients can be treated at a private hospital and waiting list targets can be achieved in East Lancashire.

General surgery and orthopaedics cases being dealt with by East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust were in danger of exceeding 20-week in-patient treatment targets.

LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT: 20 WEEKS WAITING TIME IS THE FREAKIN' TARGET!

THAT'S FIVE FREAKIN' MONTHS! FOR GENERAL SURGERY AND ORTHOPEDICS!

IF SOCIALIZED MEDICINE DOESN'T WORK THERE IN THE UK - WHERE NATIONALIZING INDUSTRIES WAS INVENTED, WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK IT COULD WORK HERE!?! IT MAKES NO SENSE.

YET ALL OF THE DEMOCRAT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES SUPPORT JUST THAT.

SHEESH. IT'S NOT LIKE THE USSR WAS UTOPIA, EITHER, YA KNOW.

BUT MAYBE IT WAS - ACCORDING TO THE DEMS!
