DAILY SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE NIGHTMARE: IRELAND: 133 TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS ON WAITING LIST FOR HOSPICES

IRISH INDEPENDENT:
HEALTH chiefs were last night accused of abandoning "the weakest and most vulnerable" in society after it emerged terminally ill patients are being forced to spend some of their final days on lengthy waiting lists.

The criticisms came as the Irish Hospice Foundation revealed that 133 terminally ill patients were on a waiting list desperately seeking access to hospice care.

... The revelations come in the wake of the HSE's admission last May that about half of the money allocated to hospices for palliative care had been diverted.

... the Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children was told much of the money had been withdrawn to meet cost overruns in demand-led drugs schemes and acute hospital services.

Last night, the HSE indicated that further funding may not be available for some time.
NATIONALIZED HEALTHCARE - RUN BY BUREAUCRATS AND POLITICIANS - SUCKS.

BUT OBAMA WANTS TO BRING IT HERE.

DON'T BE DUPED.
