EVENT ADDED TO “POLITICS & YOUR PRACTICE” ON JUNE 5
If you were on the fence about attending the AAPS briefing and dinner in Dallas this Friday, don’t hesitate to RSVP right away.
AAPS has been chosen as one of the first organizations to screen an important new video on government healthcare before the national premiere on television later this month.
“The End of Patients’ Rights: The Human Consequences of Government Run Health Care,” examines whether Congress is important health care rationing from Britain and Canada.
Produced by CPRights.org, the team traveled to Great Britain and Canada to speak first hand with patients and doctors.
Here’s a taste:
“A national health board is a first step to picking winners and losers amongpatients, saving money instead of lives.“Before Britain’s Katie Brickell was diagnosed with cervicalcancer at age 23, she tried to get a routine pap test threetimes, but was refused because the U.K.’s national governmentrationing board that controls what treatments patients mayreceive will only pay for screenings for women 25 or older in aneffort to cut costs.Denied this routine test by her government’s health care board,Katie’s cancer was found at a late stage. Her cancer is terminal.Katie’s story is not unique, and mirrors the experiences of manyof the United Kingdom’s other 61 million citizens trapped in itsNational Health System.As our nation goes forward in its own health care reformdebate, the failures of the British system should have Americansasking some very important questions such as:“Who should make medical decisions.”
