Behold the Power of Bureaucracy

After putting a 3 inch nail into his finger, a Scottish man went to his state-run hospital's ER -- and waited 22 hours before leaving with the nail still in his finger.

Keep that in mind: when every American has health care provided by the government, those who accept that level of help will get care on par with the level of service doled out by the tenured functionaries that serve in departments of social services throughout the country. Meanwhile, those who can afford it, and that will include everyone who makes the mandates, will go to private caretakers. Unless they ban private practice, mandaters exempted, of course.


 
To say Noggle, one first must be able to say the "Nah."
