It can’t be for the health care:
Hundreds of patients died needlessly at NHS hospital due to appalling care
Poor nursing care, filthy wards and lack of leadership at Basildon and Thurrock University NHS Hospitals FoundationTrust led to the deaths of up to 400 patients a year.
Figures compiled by a health watchdog showed death rates at the Essex trust were a third higher than they should have been.
This is entirely unsurprising. Why? Because their is no upside in government run health care in providing high quality care. All you get when you do that is more hassles – more people to treat, more procedures to do, more tests to make…it really eats in to your time and as you don’t get paid any more if you do it, what is the point? And so, the natural result of government run health care is poor care – and there is no way to fix it.
Doesn’t matter how much money you pour in to it. Doesn’t matter how many commissions you create to deal with the problems of poor care. Doesn’t matter how much public outrage there is. You can’t fix a government bureaucracy – they are impervious to facts, logic and basic human decency. The only thing they do well is perpetuate themselves – anything else they do is, at best, mediocre and it only happened because they dare not have no results at all (unless you get on a really sweet government agency like the Inter-agency Alternative Dispute Resolution Working Group where there can be no measurable results).
We turn our health care over to such people and in short order we’ll all just have bad care – except for the politically connected and the well off; they’ll continue to have first class care because the rich can just buy the talent and the health system makes certain they do provide good care for those who can jeopardize the annual budget.
Is this what the liberals want? I don’t think so – and that means we have to go with their innate desire to control others. There is really no other explanation for it. Unless, that is, they are just plain and simple stupid.
