It’s the communist way, comrade
the party elite never had to wait in line or suffer without medication
just wait until someone over 70 tries to get some IRS clerk to approve hip replacement or chemo, especially if their personal records are flagged with any conservative affiliation
Amerikas nomenklatura
http://www.investors.com/NewsAndAnalysis/Article.aspx?id=528809
For those who remember the old Soviet Union, it was a grim place at least for average citizens. But not so for those in government. Contrary to the official ideals of equality and a classless society that the ruling communist regime espoused, the USSR created a privileged class of party members inside government the nomenklatura.
This semipermanent bureaucracy earned higher incomes, got better health care, ate better food and had greater job security than average Russians, the much-despised proletarians. Today, our bloated government seems, in significant ways, to be creating this same dynamic.

There will be snap back.
“Its the communist way, comrade”
No it is not. The communist way is closer to the system we have now.
I will welcome a system where I can pay for the care I wish to receive, and everyone who wants it for “free” has to wait in line.
THAT is the American way. If you don’t pay, wait in line for whatever someone else is willing to pay for you to have care.
That will be the time to assure that IRS clerks leaving work have "accidents".
