Britain claims to have a far superior socialized health care system than us dumb capitalist Americans. Unfortunately, they also have EMTs who are stupid enough not only to debate whether or not a disabled man having a heart attack is worth saving, but to have such a debate in front of an open phone line where everything is recorded.
I will certainly grant that this kind of terrifying idiocy among EMTs could (and perhaps even does) happen here in the States without a socialized health care system. It is not as if a hospital ordered these EMTs to refuse this man assistance, so we can only assume it was their own homicidal tendency and misanthropic disregard for the disabled.
But it doesn't take a huge leap of the imagination to see how Britain's approach to health care and a general tendency towards euthanasia and abortion in Western culture could have an eroding effect on the value of human life. These two morons decided this man's life was not worth saving -- despite the fact that the man himself wanted to live, as evidenced by his emergency phone call.
Sure, legalizing abortion and euthanasia wouldn't necessarily have to lead to this kind of nightmare situation...but tell that to the guy who was refused health care because other people thought his quality life didn't meet their standards
