CPAC Insanity: 'Socialized Medicine Killed Princess Diana' .........and no this is not the Onion

Politics 2/27/20 11:30am Read time: 1 minute
By David



A panel at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday alleged that socialized medicine — not a car accident — killed Princess Diana.

The remarks came during a panel on the alleged dangers of socialized medicine.

“Socialized medicine killed Princess Diana,” the announcer revealed before asking one of the panelists to explain why.

“Princess Diana was in the car accident in France,” Dr. David Schneider, an orthopedic surgeon, told the crowd. “They actually don’t have any trauma specialists in France.”

And that person survived. But CPAC is probably an anti-seatbelt crowd.

Last time I wanted to get my yearly physical I had to wait four months.
Last time I wanted to get my teeth polished for an event, I could not get an appointment for three months after the event.

My husband was in the emergency room four times having his perforated ulcer misdiagnosed as the flu. It wasn’t until he almost died that they put him into a three hour emergency surgery that almost killed him.

Every person in every country can find a horror story. My Canadian relatives laugh at US claims about universal healthcare.

"This management involves a regulatory system initiated from a unique phone number (15 national). The medical regulator sends either first-aid providers or a medical team. On-site care is highly developed and prehospital medically assisted care is really the first phase of the treatment of the injured. "
