>From the UK comes yet another precautionary tale of socialized
medicine — the story of the aptly named Angela Breeds:
An expectant mother of twins was ferried 250 miles between four
hospitals only to have her babies separated as soon as they were
delivered.
Angela Breeds, 30, was told she needed a Caesarean section when
doctors found one of her unborn babies was too small and not getting
enough nutrition.
But what should have been the most thrilling moment of her life
turned into a five-day ordeal because the hospitals either did not
have the right scanning equipment or the incubators.
Doctors finally performed the Caesarean and delivered Suzie and
Sonny nine weeks early. But then Sonny had to be moved to another
hospital five minutes after birth - again because of incubator
shortages.
Miss Breeds and her partner, Lee Taylor, 35, are now getting up at
5am every day to take breast milk to the babies at each hospital.
At least the medical care is free — unless you count the staggering
level of taxation required to support it.
Of course, socialized medicine will work much more efficiently when
it's imposed in the USA, because we'll have geniuses like Nancy Pelosi
to see that it's administrated properly. They're doing a marvelous job
with the rest of the economy.
