From the London Daily Mail:
Former NHS director dies after operation is cancelled four times at her own hospital
A former NHS director died after waiting for nine months for an operation - at her own hospital.
Margaret Hutchon, a former mayor, had been waiting since last June for a follow-up stomach operation at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex.
But her appointments to go under the knife were cancelled four times and she barely regained consciousness after finally having surgery.
Her devastated husband, Jim, is now demanding answers from Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust - the organisation where his wife had served as a non-executive member of the board of directors.
He said: 'I don't really know why she died. I did not get a reason from the hospital. We all want to know for closure. She got weaker and weaker as she waited and operations were put off.'
Mr Hutchon, of Great Baddow, Essex, said his wife, 72, had initially undergone major stomach surgery last June but the follow up procedures were repeatedly abandoned.
I do not mean to sound heartless but the quote: "I don't really know why she died" should be obvious - she was 72 years old and beyond her span as being a "useful member of society". You heard about Death Panels - here they are in action.
I am very concerned about this myself as my Dad died at 94 and I am in better health than he ever was. What if I live to 105 and need another hip transplant? Will I be forced to give up my breakdancing career?
Seriously, Obamacare is the British National Health Service on steroids - it needs to be repealed and let the marketplace deal with keeping insurance prices low.
