So, as this election year screams on to November, I trust you've all been hearing from the Democrats how absolutely, totally, indescribably, ineffably f'n WONDERFUL "Medicare for all" is, eh?

Of course you're a smart voter, right?  So you know that "Medicare for all" actually means the central government runs every single aspect of your health care.

But you're okay with that, because...you've heard so much about Medicare that makes it sound warm, fuzzy and totally benign, right?

Well...let's see how having all health care run by the wunnerful gruberment is working for the supposed "shining example" of that woeful socialist program:  In the formerly great U.K. the bureaucracy that runs the entire goddamn health system--top to bottom--has ORDERED all UK hospitals to...wait for it...ration oxygen.

Now as Americans, I realize some of you may not have heard that term before, and may not be familiar with its...nuances.  What it means is...if you're stuggling to breathe, staff will turn your oxygen DOWN to below the level universally considered "adequate."

Naturally you think this is bullshit.  So click on the link below and read for yourself.

NHS rationing oxygen, U.K. hospitals instructed to lower patients' levels below "adequate" range

Oxygen is being rationed at hospitals in the U.K. amid high demand from coronavirus patients,   Doctors have been instructed to lower patients' oxygen levels to a range below what is considered "adequate," The Telegraph reports in an exclusive.

NHS England attempted to remedy the problem by dispatching engineers across the country to upgrade piping infrastructure — but this proved impossible due to many older hospitals.

The Telegraph reports:

On April 9 officials told trusts that in order to reserve the medical gas for those who need it most, trusts should downgrade their oxygen saturation targets.

Low oxygen saturation, known as hypoxia, can lead to organ failure and brain damage.

The normal target saturation range of 94% to 98% should be altered to 92% to 96% "in the first instance," the guidance stated.

The document — which applies to all patients, not just those with Covid-19 — went on to say "a target range of 90 to 94 per cent may be considered if clinically appropriate by hospitals according to prevailing oxygen flow demands."

"It's not ideal," said Dr Graham Burns, BTS president elect. "90% is when you start to approach the cliff face, so we prefer 94% because it's a step away from that."

Now, you REALLY have to love the incredible bullshit euphemism from the president-elect of the British Thoracic Society--someone who should have learned a thing or two about the chest and breathing and all that non-essential crap:  He sayeth "It's not ideal."

"Not ideal," eh Doc?  Ya don't say.  Next you're gonna tell us that dying of hypoxia is "a slight deviation from ideal recovery," eh?

Dude, when you get through with your cuzhy bureaucrat-fellating job in the U.K, DO come to the U.S. cuz I just know the Democrat National Committee will hire you in a second.
