The term is UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. That means it covers the universe, i.e., the ENTIRE POPULATION. EVERYONE is covered by the SAME RULES and NOBODY is LEFT OUT!
If that IS what the Democrat political elites REALLY WANT, heres the deal:
NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
No members of Congress or ANYONE in the White House running off to Walter Reed or Bethesda for that nasty ingrown toenail, hacking cough and spitting up blood. Take a number and wait in the same line the rest of us are.
That goes for your congressional and White House children and other family members! GET IN LINE!!!
And if your UNIVERSAL RULES dictate that some life-saving treatment would be too expensive or not be cost-effective for you older members, heres a twenty call someone who cares.
Oh yeah forgot the best part: If ANY of you are found to be availing yourselves of what idiot representative Fortney Pete Stark (as in raving mad) from (where else) KAHLIFONIA once called Boutique Medicine (cute, huh?) by bypassing the universal system, not getting that needed treatment will be the least of your problems.
Gotta tell ya. Yesterday I was experiencing some symptoms that made me pause. I decided I had better give my Dr. a call a have them checked out. I called at 9:30 AM and was in his office at 10:15. This morning I had and ultrasound and have already gotten my results. Everything is fine but none of this would happen under the plan our Congresscritters have in store for us.
