This is a critique of Obama’s Socialist agenda on health care.
With his Socialist plans already getting into place, now President Obama, the god of the liberal left, now is imposing a Socialist agenda known as Universal health care. Obama’s Socialist agenda costs trillions, billions, millions and thousands of dollars. According to the CBO, Obama’s Socialist health care plan costs 1 trillion dollars.
In countries that have universal health care, newspapers ran headlines about people having to wait in long lines and being denied treatment, headlines like this one “The cancer divide: Men are most at risk because the NHS prefers saving women, says cancer expert” and this one “Women `denied’ anti-cancer drugs NHS `skimping’ on cancer drugs”. The summary of the first column is:
As it’s revealed they are 40 per cent more likely to die of it, our foremost cancer expert blames NHS bias in favour of saving women victims.
This article starts off as:
Over the centuries, women have often complained about the inequality between the sexes - and justifiably so.
With better paid jobs, less responsibility for household chores and by far the best end of the deal when it comes to the pain of childbirth, men have long enjoyed what seems to their female counterparts to have a more blessed existence.
Yet now comes news that, in one area of life at least, women are the more fortunate sex.
This week, the charity Cancer Research UK published a report about the different survival rates of the two sexes when it comes to this much-feared disease.
It revealed that among cancers which affect both sexes, men are 60 per cent more likely to develop the disease and 70 per cent more likely to die from it.
When all forms of cancer are taken into consideration, men are 16 per cent more likely than women to develop cancer in the first place, and then 40 per cent more likely to die of it if they do.
The government-run British health service the NHS [National Health Service] seems to be taking a sexist attitude on treating cancer victims. It’s just as bad as if insurance companies in America denied treatment to people because they were black. In fact, if that was the case, I think we would know what would be the reaction of the liberal left. But a universal health care system denying people in Britain the treatment to cancer because of their sex seems to be okay for the liberal left. That article was written by Karol Sikora, professor and chair of the Department of Cancer medicine at imperial college, former chief of the World health cancer program, and leads CancerPartnersUK, an independent cancer network in the UK. Yet, according to Mr. Sikora, the left’s precious health care service in Britain, which we are told works fine, is to blame for the fact that 40% of men are more likely to die from cancer because the “perfect” healthcare service in Britain is biased in saving women victims of cancer.
Even the healthcare service that’s biased in its treatment of women victims of cancer even denied breast cancerpills to women with breast cancer because the pills are too expensive. That’s what the second article reported. It started off as:
More than half the women suffering with advanced breast cancer in Britain are being denied new, effective drugs because they are considered by local health managers to be too expensive.
This is the “great” healthcare service of Britain. The political left wants to make Cuba seem like it has a great health care service. When it comes to discussion about the Castro brothers’ human rights violations, we are told that at least Cuba has a great healthcare system. Micahel Moore’s pro-Castro and pro-Socialist health care service propaganda film “Sicko” even states that Cuba has great healthcare. Cuba does have great healthcare in the hospitals in the tourist areas, which until last year, were persona non grata to the average Cuban. After the ban was lifted, the Communist regime then made everything in the tourist area too expensive for the average Cuban. Pictures of the Real Cuba even show pictures of the hospitals for the average Cuban. Here are some of the pictures.
These photos are pretty disgusting. Aren’t they? When the health care service in Cuba is exposed, we then get told about Canada and European countries like France, Holland , Germany and Britain where universal health care supposedly works. In this article, I exposed some of the problems of the universal health care service in Britain.
Let’s look at some of these other countries. The BBC ran an article about how bad the “wonderful” health care service is in France. Here’s where you can go to get more insight on the problems of universal health care.

The Canadian system is supposedly one of the main models upon which the coming American health care revolution will be based. And yet this wondrous Canadian system seems to be more and more incapable of providing relatively common medical procedures to Canadian citizens, even in Canada’s most populous province. Because the system is controlled by a bureaucracy, it doesn’t respond to market pressures (goodness knows that most of the time, bureaucracies barely respond to political pressure) and in fact can’t even figure out what the market is demanding. All of this results in the Canadian government relying on the supposedly inferior US system to provide lifesaving care in many instances. No wonder 3 out of 4 Canadians live within easy driving distance of the US border.
Surbor argues that the US socializing health care will kill Canadians. Many people around the world from countries with socialized health care come to America for health care. America has one of the best health care systems in the world.
America’s health care system is imperfect. Insurance companies don’t always make the right desicion. The solution is not to put our health care system under government bureaucracy. Many politicians are souless and corrupt people who care about power. Congressmen and women are wasting the American people’s money on some of the most wasteful projects. They shouldn’t control America’s healthcare service.
Conclusion - Why I hope Obama fails
The title of the conclusion will give me devil ears and a pitchfork to the eyes of many leftists. My hope that Obama fails comes from wanting to save this great nation from a Socialist nanny state. If Obama was to continue with tax cuts and free-market Capitalism, I hope Obama succeeds. That’s not what Obama is doing.
I hope Obama fails at imposing Socialist control on the health care service and on wasting the American people’s money for his Socialist agenda. He seeks to distract people from what’s going on and keeps saying that he inherited a crisis. Obama and his liberal leftist friends do their favorite task, blame Bush for every problem. Yet it’s Obama who is dramatically increasing the deficit to anything unseen in the Bush years. Before Obama started with his health care “reform”, the CBO predicted that his economic policy would be 1 trillion per year and 10 trillion in ten years. The CBO showed how expensive Obama’s Socialist policies are. His health care “reform” is going to help increase the deficit, as well as Obama’s other Socialist plans. I say this again to Obama:
You keep your change. We keep our country.
