Stephen Hawking Enters U.S. Health Care Debate

In an editorial on July 31, Investor’s Business Daily warned of end-of-life counseling in health care reform by saying people like Stephen Hawking “wouldn’t have a chance” in the such a system.

People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn’t have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.

In fact, Professor Hawking lives in England, where he has been treated by their National Health Service. And by his own account, it saved his life.

“I wouldn’t be here today if it were not for the NHS,” he told The Guardian. “I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived.”

Fail.
