		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s curious, is is not, that while Britain&#8217;s National Health Service is decentralizing itself and eliminating much of its bureaucracy, we&#8217;re going in exactly the opposite direction? In fact, we&#8217;re creating a jumble of new agencies whose function, size and complexity beggar the imagination.

Instead of merely addressing the financing of care &#8211; particularly for the relative few who are uninsured &#8211; ObamaCare seeks to reallocate the distribution of the care itself.

		<description><![CDATA[My last post on the NHS got me to thinking about barf bags. I suppose it was the references to blood spatter and mold in certain British hospitals. And at Behind Blue Lines we are nothing if not versatile &#8211; we can go from the serious to the utterly ridiculous in less time than it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We talked in the previous post about &#8220;Lavisms&#8221; &#8211; persistent misrepresentations made by anti-taxpayer hit-woman Iris Lav of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Here&#8217;s another Lavism and it&#8217;s a beaut: that kids in Colorado don&#8217;t get their childhood immunization because of TABOR. Yes, she actually maintains that kids don&#8217;t get their shots because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my earlier post by the same name, we discussed how Bimbo Palin trumped Barack the Brilliant in the public option debate when she dubbed ObamaCare&#8217;s treatment effectiveness panels as &#8220;death panels&#8221;. She was widely attacked for misrepresenting the US equivalent of the British NICE. And that wasn&#8217;t very nice (pun intended). But now it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s the question posed by Dr. William Anderson in The Weekly Standard. Anderson, a retired physician and Harvard instructor, examines the premises that set us apart from other &#8220;advanced nations&#8221; that have adopted universal health care.

		<description><![CDATA[Current leftist pap holds that the outrage against ObamaCare is all fake &#8211; a veneer covering the sinister machinations of dark forces opposed to Hope &#8216;n Change.
