Da Health Care
Socialised Medicine is not a pretty picture, so we 10men spared you.
- Look up Cuba's example of the road health care in UK, Australia, U.S.A. is going to under the socialised/left state governments. That's why YOU need to vote Mr Howard.
The de-moralisation of health care

How in God’s name have we come to this? In three hospitals in Kent, at least 90 patients have died from a superbug infection caused by filthy conditions with unwashed bedpans, staff ‘too busy’ to clean their hands and — most appalling of all — nurses telling patients with diarrhoea to ‘go in their beds’.
This unspeakable situation reveals not just callousness towards suffering and indifference to human dignity but a breakdown of some of our most basic civilised values.
Nor is this an isolated scandal. Last October, an internal memo warned the Government that virtually every NHS trust was reporting superbug infection. The health service, in other words, is institutionally polluted.
The Government’s response? To ignore this crisis, and then belatedly to bring forth Gordon Brown’s pathetic commitment to a sporadic hospital ‘deep clean’.

What nobody's mentioning in these stories, 10men is the ethnicity of those who hold most of the cleaning contracts and of the cleaners themselves.
Evidence from UK nurses coming to work in NZ is that most of them by far are what the Brits refer to as "Asians", Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.
A lot of them have no idea at all about bacteria and the role they play in infections. The traditional norms of hospital hygiene are utterly alien to them.
You get what you pay for and the cheapest contract wins.
Thanks kg.
