The Party of "No"
Technorati and Me
Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M. and the guys at GetSatisfaction.com where they have "community powered support for Technorati".
Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.
Wankers.

Our ObamaCare Future: Take two aspirin and go home to die
A preview of our ObamaCare future, courtesy of Britain's National Health:
A woman who died 10 minutes after arriving home from hospital for the second time in a one day was not even seen by a doctor, a coronial inquest has found.
June Owen, 63, died after visiting Stawell Hospital in the United Kingdom.
She first visited the hospital at 5 p.m. January 21, 2008 with abdominal pain, and a nurse gave her two codeine pills and sent her home.
At 10.15 p.m., Owen arrived by ambulance again and a nurse phoned on-call doctor Briandha Jeremiah, who decided not to attend to examine her.
Jeremiah told the nurse to give her a Demerol injection, to relieve her pain.
Owen was released from hospital 40 minutes after her injection.
Dr. Donald Berwick, the guy President Obama picked to lead our nation's implementation of ObamaCare, is on record praising the NHS as a "model" of what our health care system should become. He's the architect of Britain's NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence), their version of the new Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), established under ObamaCare to control our nation's health care costs.
NICE wields complete power over the health care options of all residents of Great Britain. They decide what treatments are available and who is eligible to receive those treatments. When NICE says "no," it's almost always due to cost considerations.
An autopsy showed that Mrs. Owen died of complications from an enlarged heart. Treating that is probably expensive, two codeine pills and a shot of Demerol undoubtedly saved the hospital a ton of money.
For their part, Stawell Hospital has "reviewed their policies" and "minor changes had been made."
Yeah, I'll bet they've made "changes." Next time NHS sends someone home to die they'll save even more money by skipping the codeine and Demerol and go straight to some nice inexpensive placebos.
You gotta love that hospital name — pronounced as "Stay Well" — it's good advice!
Show up sick and chances are quite good that You're Gonna Die. Welcome to ObamaCare.
