Several items concerning Obamacare – at least in it’s “single-payer” government-run manifestation.

Firstly, US lefties are NOT happy campers about the chance that B.O. – The One hisself, may be backing away from this concept:

No Government-Run Health Insurance, No Bill, Say Liberal Supporters of Reform

The Obama administration appears to be stepping back from its insistence on a government-run health insurance plan, earning new wrath from the left as the president tries to appease vocal opponents of a “public option.”

A health care reform plan without government-run insurance is “D.O.A.,” says one left-wing grassroots organizer up in arms about the possibility the Obama administration could abandon its efforts to build a “public option.”

Jim Dean, chairman of progressive group Democracy for America, wrote supporters on Monday to tell them to fight any effort to remove a government-run health insurance plan in place of non-profit “cooperatives.”

Awwww! They’re upset!

Suggesting insider Democrats and the insurance industry are behind the effort to kill a government-run plan, in his e-mail Dean assumed all Republicans in the House will oppose the health care reform with cooperatives, and with a loss of Democratic support, it would be dead on arrival.

“Let’s be clear: A health care bill without a public option is D.O.A. in the House. Period.

PUH-leeeese, let it be so!

Meanwhile, all is not well as far as using the Brits and Canucks as examples of the benefits of universal government health care:

Britain’s No Model for U.S. Health Care

Many opponents of the House plan (President Obama and the senate do not yet have one) cite the way the British deal with their sick and elderly and warn that America could become like Britain. Those critics are right to worry.

Just last week, the Times of London reported that “hospitals creak under the strain as vacancies spread through NHS (National Health Service).” The socialized medicine practices here has brought a shortage of doctors, nurses and other clinical staff.As of March 31, a survey found a 5.2 percent vacancy rate in these critical fields. This compares to a 3.6 percent vacancy rate just one year earlier.

Qualified nurses and midwifes are retiring at a faster rate than newly trained staff can enter these professions. And a poll conducted by the Royal College of Nurses found that among 8,600 young people, aged 7 to 17, only one in 20 would actively consider nursing an attractive career.

YIKES! But things are better in Canada…or not?

Canadian Health Officials: Our Universal Health Care Is ‘Sick,’ Private Insurance Should Be Welcomed

Dr. Anne Doig, the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association, said her country’s health care system is “sick” and “imploding,” the Canadian Press reported.

“We know there must be change,” Doig said in a recent interview. “We’re all running flat out, we’re all just trying to stay ahead of the immediate day-to-day demands.”

Canada’s universal health care system is not giving patients optimal care, Doig added. When her colleagues from across the country gather at the CMA conference in Saskatoon Sunday, they will discuss changes that need to be made, she said.

“We all agree the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize,” she said.

OK. They’re trying to undo what the Obamacare lib-Donks are trying to do to us? Sure looks that way.

Hmmm. Returning to Einstein’s definition of insanity as repeating the same thing and expecting to get a different result, once again American libs are proving that by that standard, liberalism IS a mental disorder!
