• A wise and frugal government which leaves men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement. This is the sum of good government. - Thomas Jefferson

"It's a boy! ... and don't forget the washing"

As if we have to go beyond Australia's borders to find the nightmarish failures of socialised healthcare, however this was too good to pass up:

Over-worked nurses asked mother-of-two Elin Andersson to strip the sheets from her own hospital bed and tidy up before she was discharged from a hospital in Sundsvall, northern Sweden, local newspaper Sundsvalls Tidning said. The request was among a list of problems Ms Andersson had at the hospital.

Ah, the wonders of Euro-socialism.

When will the irrational bigotry against a free-market approach to healthcare end, and allow us to have a decent healthcare system?
