"How's that socialized medicine working out for ya?"

I wonder if under Obamacare party members will get priority care and the rest can take a number or pay extra fees?

I believe that under Obamacare older party members will get stents and heart transplants, and medications , while older Americans are told they are not worth saving.

I believe the rationed care will be rationed to most Americans ,while people considered more important will get the attention.

The death panels are real.

“I wonder if under Obamacare party members will get priority care and the rest can take a number or pay extra fees? “

I’ve written about this before. When I was in the Mexican Baja in the winter I asked my guide what the crowd was doing in front of the building across the street. He said that’s the public hospital. The crowd is that big or bigger 24/7/365. During the summer when it hits 120 degrees the hospital sends a gurney out every hour to collect the dead.

Medical care in Mexico is ‘free.” There are two classes of “free” hospital, the one I saw and the one for government workers. My guide took me to see that one. Beautiful, modern building; no crowds, no waiting. But talking to a guy who’d worn a neck brace for the last 18 months who had had an operation in the government hospital the care is circa 1950’s. He’d had what would be an in-office procedure here.

There are two types of medical care in the US which have improved every year and gone down in price; lasik eye surgery and cosmetic surgery. Why? They aren’t paid for by “insurance” therefore the marketplace drives the quality and price.
