House Republicans Spotlighted British Model of Nazi Health

July 26, 2009 (LPAC)—The House Republican Health Care Solutions group, which the party has tasked to deal with Obama's proposals, officially took up the attack against British genocidal health practices on July 23, when they held a hearing which featured testimony, by telephone, from Dr. Karol Sikora, a British oncologist and critic of the not-so-NICE system of health care rationing in Britain.

In response to questions from members of the panel, Sikora noted that Britain is falling behind the rest of Europe in terms of cancer survival rates because of the way NICE bureaucratizes the approval of new drugs. "Over time," he said, "our already low cancer survival rates will drop considerably compared to the rest of Europe." He said that NICE approval takes up to three years after a new treatment has become available elsewhere. He reported, as an example, that the introduction of angioplasty as a treatment immediately following a heart attack in Britain was "enormously slow." During his opening remarks, Sikora had reported that the National Health Service (NHS) is run by the largest bureaucratic workforce in Europe, which is characterized by tremendous resistance to change.

As for cancer, Sikora said that there are many factors accounting for the lower survival rates in Britain. He said that the most common cancers—breast, lung, prostate and colon— require regular access to general health care, including diagnosis, access to specialists, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and so on, and that's where there's a total system problem. "We have the skills and the knowledge" to take care of these cancers, he said, "but the system doesn't allow patients access in a timely fashion."

Upon hearing of this event, Lyndon LaRouche noted on July 23 that you can't support the British health care system because it's fascism. "Where did Hitler get his policy?" LaRouche said. "From the British. It's mass murder."
