An unhappy tale from Wales about government-run health care

Yesterday I reported the possibility that government-run health care could be foisted in a manner that Rep. Charles Boustany (R-LA) calls a "mad rush."

Great Britain has its version of Obamacare. Slow down for a few minutes to read what BBC.com has to say about an unfortunate woman from Wales:

A mother who spent £31,000 on life-saving treatment for her daughter while NHS bodies argued over funding is to get her money back.

The daughter, who lived in south Wales, developed depression and anorexia while staying with a friend in Devon.

Ombudsmen found maladministration and service failure by NHS (National Health Service) bodies in Wales and England against the unnamed women.

They criticised Health Commission Wales (HCW), Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust, and Plymouth Teaching Primary Care Trust.
