Take two glasses of water and call me in the morning.....

The Brits call their version of Obamacare, National Health Service (NHS) ..... and it worsens every year..... the latest example, you ask? British doctors are now PRESCRIBING WATER as a treatment for dehydration............. just to get the thirsty patients some water:


"Behold, the wonders of government-run healthcare:
Doctors are prescribing drinking water for neglected elderly patients to stop them dying of thirst in hospital. The measure – to remind nurses of the most basic necessity – is revealed in a damning report on pensioner care in NHS wards.

Some trusts are neglecting the elderly on such a fundamental level their wards could face closure orders. The snapshot study, triggered by a Mail campaign, found
staff routinely ignored patients’ calls for help and forgot to check that they had had enough to eat and drink. Dehydration contributes to the death of more than 800 hospital patients every year."

Kinda makes feel all warm and secure looking forward to your Golden Years under Obamacare - doesn't it?
