A similar "epidemic" going on all over Britain has been in that
country's
headlines for the past month. They've named it "MRSA". See, for
instance,

I don't believe that this is a coincidence. When an industry is run by
the
government and provided "free", and the people working in it are immune
to
lawsuits and nearly impossible to fire because of civil service rules,
you
can't expect that industry to provide a good quality product.
This epidemic ought to be called the lack-of-accountability syndrome.
And
it ought to give pause to those who want the government to take over
health
care in the United States.
