Bump!
WOW! Can’t wait for NBC to report this expose on the failures of socialism!
or, it is a trial balloon.
But what it CERTAINLY is, is (weird saying 'is' two times in a row, don't know why) something for those still saying there is no rationing in HR3200 to come around.
And this is exactly at what we’re looking at. Restricting medical care to save money.
So much for free healthcare.
Every time someone tries to tell me how wonderful Canadian health care is, I tell them the story of my torn rotator cuff (w/ beginning frozen shoulder)a few years back.
It took a whole 2 1/2 weeks to see my GP, get an MRI, see a sports orthopedic surgeon, get additional x-rays, be evaluated for PT (determined I didn’t need surgery), and start PT... and it took that long in the US because it was right around the Christmas and New Years holidays.
If I lived in Canada, waiting for the MRI alone, I would have developed such a frozen shoulder w/ resulting muscle atrophy, I would most likely ended up with a useless right arm.
IIRC Many states in the US have more MRI machines than all of Canada.
This will be our future under ObamaCare or as I like to refer to it ZeroCare.
Ooooohhh...it's only an IDEA...well that makes it ok!
So the government wants to punish bigots who don't actually commit a crime, because ideas can be dangerous.
But when the government comes up with dangerous ideas, it's just "brainstorming"...
they need to convene a death panel to rank the recipients of these surgeries from most valuable to least valuable in order to better make these cuts.

I am assuming that these people are free to go to Washington state and pay for good care out of their own pockets?
Yessssss we need to have a health care system like Canada’s and England’s systems. Wonderful!
