British ObamaCare update: Medication being rationed

See also: viagra | cheap cialis | 


"The decision is not whether or not we will ration care—the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open." Donald Berwick, President Obama's choice to run Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, June, 2009.



Berwick is an admirer of Great Britain's long-dysfunctional National Health Service, the UK's government-run health care agency.



The NHS has rationed health care for years. In Berwick's utopia, "red lists" are maintained. On those lists, the Telegraph reports, are medications that can only be prescribed by an NHS consultant, not a general practitioner. Those drugs include statins, diabetes medications, osteoporosis treatments, and medicine for Parkinson's disease.



Well, the British are rationing with their eyes open, I'll concede them that.

The medication is taken in pill form by mouth. One Viagra tablet can be taken in 24 hours, it will usually work within 30 minutes to 1 hour and lasts about 4 hours.

Common side effects
The most common side effects are headache, facial flushing, dizziness, visual problems such as blurred vision, bluish vision and sensitivity to light, nasal congestion, an upset stomach.

Viagra can be dangerous
Do not take Viagra if you use nitrate drugs. These types of drugs used to treat cardiac problems such as angina can if used in combination with Viagra cause the blood pressure to drop to unsafe, sometimes life threatening levels.

People with cardiac problems, anatomical malformations of the penis such as Peyronie's disease, men with a predisposition to prolonged erections caused by sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma (a form of cancer), leukemia, liver problems (especially severe liver disorders), kidney problems and people taking certain medications used for HIV or those over 65 should NEVER take the drug unless prescribed by a medical practioner.
