We complain that medicaid is too high and now we complain when they want to ration health care?

The old consultant joke was: "I can help you build it faster, cheaper, better -- pick any two."

But now the joke is on us -- the government is promising Better Healthcare, More of it, and it will be Free!!!!

Some people actually think this is possible. Those people mostly work in the media.

And not just for the elderly. For everyone.

I’ll certainly complain when my parents are allowed to die for lack of medical care.

Just because people complain about the high cost of health care doesn’t mean that they want to see a massive socialized medical bureaucracy imposed that makes life and death decisions for us.

I would rather see us save money by eliminating illegal immigration, by reforming how hospitals are forced to absorb emergency room costs, by dramatically reducing litigation that forces doctors/hospitals to purchase massive insurance policies, and by getting government regulations more OUT than in.

So, for example, my complaint about the high cost of Medicaid has nothing in common with what the Dems are doing.
