Pharmacy queues show price Greeks are paying for credit breakdown

Nathalie Savaricas Athens Thursday 07 June 2012
There were long queues outside a state-funded pharmacy in Athens yesterday as people lined up to get life-saving drugs for seriously ill relatives.
The shortages in chemotherapy medicine and other expensive drugs arose when pharmaceutical companies cut credit to the country's largest state-backed heath insurance fund, EOPYY, which provides subsidised medicine to ordinary Greeks.
The problem is yet another reminder of the challenges facing Greece, which goes to the polls for a second time this month after May's elections failed to deliver a government.
Coalition talks between competing parties broke down when the far left demanded a renegotiation of the country's austerity drive – something that is opposed by its European partners, notably Germany. The ratings agency Standard & Poor's said this week that there was a one in three chance that Greece could quit the euro in the months after the elections on 17 June.
Yesterday, the privately run SKAI TV showed scenes of hysteria as hundreds of Greeks queued outside one of the five pharmacies owned by EOPYY. A patient could be heard screaming inside the pharmacy, and a man said he had been waiting hours to get his mother's cancer medication.
Some one has to pay, and they said, "Nein!"

ETA: I tried to figure out why the pic came through this way: X and then the link wouldn't come through. Another C&P job on the link, which I found on Drudge.

And that's how Obamacare will make America much healthier.....the price of Obamacare and other Obama freebies will bankrupt the government....government can't pay for drugs....with a lack of food and drugs, the sick die...and America as a whole is much healthier. ...Obama praised as Great Leader and weight loss guru.

My goodness, what a horrible self-imposed and completely-avoidable problem.

That is a good description of Obama.

We all knew this would happen some day. It's still very sad for those that need the medication for quality of life and those that must take care of them.

The vote is going on right as I type this. The contagion may very well hit the US. Two articles below:

Read the last paragraph of the second one. I know of a guy on the Shotgun World discussion boards that has told me that he hopes that he doesn't have to use his shotgun to defend himself/family/home, but he says that he will if he has to. Plus, Manos on the SHTFPlan blog is in the same situation--probably the same guy.
