I used to visit right wing blogs with regularity so I had been curious what they were saying in the comments about the Swine Flu.
At Redstate.com, someone asked the following;
So how's that socialized medicine in Mexico working so far?

That’s were we are headed if Obama gets his way.
I have no idea how the health care system works in Mexico so I can not answer "Old Crow's" question. But having come home to the UK, I can tell him/her exactly how the NHS is addressing the issue of Swine Flu.
The Telegraph has the most complete write up;
Those who think they may be suffering from swine flu are advised to stay in their home and away from anyone who they might infect.
Potential sufferers have been told to ring NHS Direct or check their symptoms on the online "flu symptom checker" to see if there is a chance they might have the virus.
A careful list of criteria has been drawn up by the Department of Health and is available on its website.
Of interest, is anyone who has been to Mexico or San Antonio, Texas, San Diego, Imperial County or New York City in America in the last seven days.
Also of concern, is anyone who has pain in or across their chest, pain in their shoulder, is short of breath, has swelling around the lips, mouth or tongue or has lips, fingernails or toenails which are changing colour.
Anyone with such symptoms is urged to call 999 immediately and asked not to leave their homes.
The anti-virals Tamiflu or Relenza will be prescribed over the phone either via NHS Direct or from a GP.
If someone who is not infected is able to collect your prescription for you, they will be asked to go and collect it from the nearest pharmacy and post it through your letter box.
If there is no one suitable to carry out such a task, the prescription will be couriered round to your address and, again, posted through the letter box.
So, "if Obama gets his way" you can anticipate speaking to SOCIALIST nurses and doctors on a SOCIALIST phone call triage, who will call in a prescription of SOCIALIST pills, that will be delivered to you by a SOCIALIST delivery person and no one, I repeat no one, will ask you for gasp payment!
