“If you feel “down” call 911 and come on in at 5 am... especially if you have been seen in EDs over 100 times this year, been blacklisted at EVERY single psyciatric hospital in the area and even the probate judge refuses to listen to your whining and commit you any more... when discharged walk to the EMS station up the road and ask to be taken to another hospital for eval, then when they walk you back down the street act shocked and leave. “
She was rather shocked when I leaned over the counter and snapped, "Look here Barbie, I'm not married to any of your other patients. Where are the blankets?"
She turned red, the lady behind her laughed and said, "I'll show you where the warmer is hon."
You can group this one with the story that women don't need mammograms as often as previously recommended.
Conditioning the masses to believe that they are getting the best care necessary while rationing and cutting back services.
Let the complainers tell us at what age they will decline which care.

Health care for all the world's humanity

seriously ill American elderly.

Very few Baby Boomers will survive long under DOH! Washington expects this will solve the Social Security funding problem. That's the plan.
...but like collecting the pay for it.
And these people, who use excessive amounts of care, are the reason the rest of us have to pay so much even if we require very little.
I just had a spinal fusion and spent 4 days in the hospital. Wow..the care I received was great! The staff provided whatever I wanted and it didn’t take long to get it. As a matter of fact, I wrote a letter to the hospital praising the employees I came in contact with.
