As some presidential candidates in the United States run around telling supporters that they can provide “free healthcare” under a socialized medical scheme, one of the countries that essentially founded the concept is struggling to keep their system afloat.
As reported by Britain’s Daily Mail, what is happening to the country’s National Health Service – once a source of pride for Brits – is a portent of what will happen in the U.S. if Obamacare, which is already imploding, is somehow transformed into one big giant Medicare program.
A new study from the NHS has found that nine out of 10 hospitals are so overcrowded that they have been deemed to be unsafe. Some 33 percent of hospitals ran out of beds at least once this past winter, including some facilities in which that happened roughly every other day. The overcrowding has meant that desperately sick patients needing to be admitted for treatment have had to languish for hours on hospital carts, waiting for beds to open up.
As the Daily Mail reported further:
“Figures show that 143 out of 154 hospital trusts in England are currently more than 85 per cent occupied – the maximum level considered to be safe.
“Patients are more likely to die when this limit is breached because rushed staff make more mistakes and are not able to monitor patients properly for signs of deterioration.
