These laws are put in place sith the goal of killing people by delay of treatment and diagnostics. IE death by denial of care/services.
Like what Canadians used to flee to come down here for treatment and such that they could pay for, and get, quickly.
I am reminded of an interview from a British source from the late 1990s.
A Brit gentlemen...mid-50’s...had a serious knee issue. It took six months to get the final expert to agree that knee operation was necessary. However, he could only recommend it to the regional council.
I left out one significant factor....the patient weighed in the range of 275 pounds.
The regional council picked up the folder and the recommendation for the knee option. It was a go except for factor. They wanted him to lose 75 pounds before they’d authorize the operation.
The guy went into disbelief. He was in intense pain and there was no walk to walk or exercise with this type of situation. If he starved himself....he might be able to accomplish that but he just wasn’t up for that challenge.
So, no benefit would occur, or operation. His local doctor noted that he write up all the prescriptions necessary for pain-killers for the rest of his life. That’s the comical side of this story.
He told this story to a friend at a pub who was Indian. He had a cousin in India who knew some medical folks. Within a week...a quote came from India for a reasonable price. I think with airfare, a private room at a upscale clinic, food, and the operation....it came to around $5,000. He pulled the money from his pocket...flew over....did the surgery and never looked back.
In the end, all this gov’t interference will create one single thing...a massive private and cheap deal in Cuba where you get five star healthcare for forty-percent of what you’d pay in the US. Toss in a bottle per day of rum, some cheap Cuban nurse attending you around the clock, and no one is going to complain.
