...Sounds like liberal socialism doesn’t want medical procedures.

heart caths and angioplasties are NOT benign procedures
What the study said was
short term risks balanced long term gains,
in non-acute settings

Liberals redefine “acute” so that nothing is critical. As Obama told you, if you’re dying and need a procedure but you are tool old, go take a pain pill and die in a corner.

study participants who had a procedure were more likely to suffer a heart problem or die over the next year than those treated with medicines alone...

No what it said is that OF COURSE they were more likely to suffer a heart problem because doctors thought their situation was BAD ENOUGH to require surgery whereas the people on meds...their situation obviously wasn’t bad enough to require surgery to begin with.

Making their situation obviously less life threatening.
