Socialized medicine proves itself to once again be a tragic and dangerous means of administering care.
A man with Down syndrome was admitted to Poole Hospital in Poole, England, for a broken hip after falling in 2021. ITV News reported in October 2025, “His hip was on the mend, but he was incorrectly listed as ‘nil by mouth’ by doctors during his time in hospital and was fed nothing for nine days.”
Adrian Poulton, 56, died of starvation.
His father, David Poulton, told the outlet, “Not being medical, we just naturally thought he was having nutrition, a feed.
“But as it turns out, they were starving him.”
Sister Lesley described her brother’s state. “He was really poorly. He did look at me and dad… He said to me, ‘Lesley, I don’t want to die.’”
“He knew he was going to die. It was just awful.”
He would pass on Sept. 28, 2021, which was two weeks after his admission.
England’s publicly funded National Health Service was so inept that they could not see that a starving man needed food.
Nationalizing healthcare creates a climate in which patients are seen for their place in the grand schemes of the state.
In 2020, anticipating a surge in patients over COVID, Canada’s healthcare system let 35 people die to clear the surgery docket for COVID patients. This wave of new patients did not arrive. Over 50,000 operations and treatments were postponed for that end.
Then-serving Health Minister Christine Elliot commented, “That’s not something any of us want to hear. It certainly was not intended.
This is Adrian Poulton with his parents.
He had Down’s Syndrome and lived in a care home. In September 2021, he fell and broke his hip and went to Poole Hospital for help.
He was given a bed and died 9 days later.
Why?
Because a doctor had marked his chart as “nil by mouth”.… pic.twitter.com/F8uDOUqHLv

“Any death is a tragedy.”
The American healthcare system’s problems are vast.
It is by no means the shining example, but a socialist system is further from it.
In a more general sense, the evidence speaks to this reality.
The needy and persecuted masses do not aspire to one day make their way to China, North Korea, or Venezuela.
They flee to the United States, the supposed epicenter of evil, inequality, and oppression.
Socialist leaders speak of compassion and fairness, but the 20th century flies in the face of their promises.
It is full of state-sanctioned disasters like Mao Zedong’s Great Leap Forward that End Genocide Now says killed 40 million through starvation.
When will civilization learn that trusting the state with the most precious aspects of our lives — food and medicine — can only turn out disastrously?

I have zero faith in the health care system of any country, our own included.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
