Until American medicine was DESTROYED by Romney
and Obama, those decisions were personal between
doctor and patient.

There was NO rationing by the government, as there is
now thanks to Romney, Reid, and Obama.

Diogenesis, get some perspective, this question is age-old.

Neither our country nor any other can afford to give the most advanced care to everyone.

The Left's answer is therefore to provide it to no one (but of course the very wealthy or well-connected will find a way).

The Right way is to allow individuals to provide for their own care. What's originally affordable only to the rich, due to market forces becomes more and more affordable to almost everyone.

The society becomes wealthier, and individuals can provide charity for those among the needy whom they consider deserving.

yeah, but there is plenty of rationing by for-profit insurance companies and wait-times abound...ever been part of an hmo?
