a note written in the patient record and signed by a qualified, usually senior or attending physician instructing the staff of the institution not to attempt to resuscitate a particular patient in the event of cardiac or respiratory failure. This instruction is usually given only when a patient is so gravely ill that death is imminent and inevitable.

This is completely ridiculous.
One half-cooked article from the Daily Mail (basically a tabloid) based on questionable anecdotal evidence, and we already have one member calling the USA a nation of Nazis (the article is about Britain, if you didn't notice) and another member calling for the killing of doctors!
Before everyone flies off the handle about "death panels" and other such nonsense, step back and consider the source. The Daily Mail regularly prints these articles completely out of left field just to rile people up and get readers.

America is on a Nazi path and it seems like it can't be stopped.

And as for the US, the FED can just print as much money as needed forever. US can pay for everyone's healthcare and unlike every other case in history there will be no shortages. US can let people from other countries come in and get free care too. A three thousand page law that no one understands and no one who passed it ever read. How many hundreds of waivers are we up to right now? Nevermind. And SIX TRILLION more in debt in just three years WITHOUT the healthcrap law being enacted yet. What could go wrong.

Link to what? You posted the link to the article in your OP when you made the thread...
As for the rest of your post, I'm sorry but I'm not really following you. What does any of that have to do with the article you posted about the NHS? The NHS is in the UK.

Jeez, did you even read the article? As in, read the content, not just scan the headline and let your knees jerk into action? Evidently not.
And since when did the Daily mail become a credible source? When it confirms our own bias, perhaps?edit on 21-6-2012 by john_bmth because: (no reason given)
