And related, the sad story of Canadian Marlene Stephens who died in an Emergency Room after complaining of breathing problems for 90 minutes. We've read many similar stories from Canada and the UK. It appears there are some unintended consequences to universal government health care. We noticed two things about this story and anticipate these in future US stories:

1) Read the article and notice that the government official refers to stats, trends and money spent. The fact with universal health care is simple: the individual is subordinate to the government.

2) and the quote at the end by the victim's mother: "This should not be happening in Canada."

Speaking of "should"... we wonder what Captain Hindsight would say about Universal Health Care.
