Colonoscopies are non essential??!??!

Gee when I had mine and the 3 centimeter polyp removed meant a 30 percent chance of cancer, I kinda thought it was essential.

It wasn’t cancer. Thank you God.

It’s quite essential.

a colonoscopy is essential and important and urgent if one has a hx of polyps.....catching cancer early is highly important...

Exactly. One must assume that hospitals are only in it for the money, and that MA bureaucrats know better than hospital personnel themselves what the hospital’s priorities are, to take this Soviet view.

How about gender altering operations? They must be essential because they do it for people who are incarcerated for life.

Abortion is the very definition of a "non-essential" procedure.

Colonoscopies on the other hand, saves lives.

The Democrats are all about death. Kill them before they are born and kill them when they are older.

this is to free up bed capacity for incoming chinese virus patients...

most hospitals make big revenue off the reimbursements for elective surgeries like knee replacements...

Worshipping at the altar of the abortion god, molech, takes precedence over all other things no matter what. Libs are beyond insane and dangerous. Libs are an evil virus....a demavirus!!!!

How does a state banning any medical procedure not violate the right to privacy found in Griswold and Roe v. Wade?

tooth extraction???
what if you have an infected tooth that has to come out.

I have a cracked tooth that has to come out and have been putting it off for far too long. I just pray I make it through WUHAN without needing to go to a dentist

I can’t stand that blob Tall Deval Baker. One of a handful of Republicans I refused to vote for.

No one that ever had surgery to remove a huge kidney stone would call it non-essential.

I would have gleefully killed someone standing between my kidney stone operations and me. And I wouldn’t have thought twice about it.

Non essential and horrifying.

And no one would mistake me for a zealot.

Well that’s not true, dems would.

Because I disapprove of babies being sucked apart by a vacuum.

I’m a regular John the Baptist to them.

"Our public health professionals believe by taking these serious actions now, we can mitigate the spread of coronavirus and help protect our most vulnerable population," Baker added.
Abortions kill our most vulnerable population. Baker is a ghoul.

So the medical care that makes up 20% of the economy isn’t able to perform routine surgeries?

These people are political until the end.
