No to European Healthcare


My trip to Ireland revealed as I expected that they do not think their Socialized Medicine is the way to go. Asking a young doctor what they thought of the government medical program, the answer was "where do I begin, lack of staff, lack of funding, misplaced priorities, etc...". Another citizen when told the U.S. might copy the European standard of medical care said "God Forbid". I was told on Sundays the local hospital only has one doctor on duty, due to lack of funding. What kind of public outcry would be heard if Libertyville Condell Hospital did the same thing here?

Why would we want to copy a system that is inferior to ours and costs more? Please let Congresswoman Bean at her next parade stop in our community, know that we do not need or can afford socialized medicine here.
