The closing of Catholic hospitals would definitely create a health care crisis and help socialists finally get their dream of socialized medicine.
I will refuse to get medical care. Only vision, dental and catastrophic care. After seeing that woman who left the hospital with all her limbs cut off, I’d rather NOT.
“The closing of Catholic hospitals would definitely create a health care crisis and help socialists finally get their dream of socialized medicine.”
How so?
The Church would continue to own the locked up hospitals. They would not be selling them. It’s too serious a threat for Obama and Boxer not to take seriously.
Boxer may have noticed that several CA hospitals have had to close due to an overabundane of uninsured patients (illegals) who they were forced to treat. Michelle Obama as a member of the U of Chicago board called for their ER to send non-paying patients to other, lesser neighborhood facilities. Without functioning Catholic hospitals the health care system would be in a world of hurt and that would be worsened, not ameliorated, by socializing medicine.
Actually, doctors should get together and threaten that they will retire from medicine if socialized medicine is forced on them. Their profession has already suffered financially from having to treat Medicare and Medicaid patients. Many have chosen not to take M/M patients because the return is so low.
