WELCOME TO OUR HEALTH-CARE FUTURE - AT 11:32 A.M. ET:  The dream of the left is for us to have a "single-payer" health-care system.  That's government speak for socialized medicine, where the government pays the bills...and makes the rules.

Here is a story from Britain, where they have the mother of all single-payer systems.  This may be our future:

Women with signs of breast cancer are waiting months for a diagnosis amid the failure of one of Labour's key manifesto pledges, the Government's cancer tsar has admitted.

All patients with symptoms of the disease should be seen by a specialist within two weeks of visiting their GP, following a promise made before the last election.

Labour said the NHS would meet the pledge by 2008 – a deadline it later extended to the end of this month.

Now the Government's cancer tsar Prof Mike Richards has disclosed that the health service is about to miss that target, with thousands of worried women waiting weeks and sometimes even months to see a hospital specialist.

COMMENT:  Note the term "cancer tsar."  Ah, for the good old Soviet days.  How some people miss the big red star. 

You would think that women's groups - the so-called "feminists" - would be in an uproar over this.  But are they?  Of course not.  Modern feminism - as opposed to true women's rights movements - has its origin on the far left.  And modern feminism has made its peace with the left, and has accepted its third-rate status on that same left.  It's disgraceful.
