I knew Sarah was right before she even said it. All I had to hear was that there would be a govt panel that would make decisions on patient care, and I knew it meant deciding who was “worth” saving and who wasn’t.
A 68-year-old friend of mine is having shoulder surgery today. It’s a three-hour procedure, and it’s extensive enough (much tendon and ligament damage from a fall) that her right shoulder and arm will be immobilized for at least three weeks. However, she’s not being kept at the hospital for even one night to make sure there are no post-surgical complications. Her daughter will be taking her home a hour after the surgery.
Because American taxpayers are forced to pay for medical care for the uninsured, including illegal aliens, people who ARE insured (my friend is a military retiree and has decent supplemental isurance) get insufficient care.
In my judgment, the government should get completely out of health care.
“In my judgment, the government should get completely out of health care.”
Yes, absolutely correct.
What government can do is tort reform, otherwise stay the “H” out of ________________ name of private enterprise you wish to mention, in this case Medical Industry.
