I had lunch with an old friend last weekend. He just thought the solution to this problem was so obvious — we need Single Payer. Most other countries have it, you know, and they all love it. It works great.

I just kept on chewing.

But clearly, the Democrats understand how this is expected to play out. They’ve been coached and they know what comes next, and they’re just gosh darn excited for the wonderful stuff to come.

That would have been the time to stop chewing.

They do NOT “love it”

Ask them right out- who the F*** told you they love it, and if they are too stupid to recognize propaganda?

This is not the time to play nice anymore.

I was discussing that with a guy I know from Canada. He agreed that single payer is good, for basic stuff. Break an arm, no problem. Need an MRI, or have heart troubles, or cancer, you are absolutely screwed.

A colleague of his ponied up $300,000 for American cancer treatment because Health Canada wouldn’t touch him.

Obama already told the unions that’s the end game, even if it takes 20 years to get there. He’s caught on tape saying it.

Spent some time in Cali, Colombia while having some procedures done. I have family (by marriage) there.
I saw a cardiologist (3 visits), eye doctor (exam & script reading glasses, and an oncologist (yearly leukemia blood work & exam.
The total costs for all visits minus the glasses & prescriptions was $561 US for the week.

The difference?
1. Everybody works - it’s sink or swim - no handouts.
2. You cannot just walk into a hospital emergency room. There are neighborhood clinics which treat minor things and triage patients. You must go to them first unless it’s something major like a car accident or severe/life threatening.
3. Administrative fees for citizens are about $1.50 US.
4. There are no welfare/parasite classes of people sucking up available resources either. Like I said - sink or swim.

When I run into one of these loons I look at them and ask so you want the same SFB bureaucrats who run the VA and the DMV deciding if you get a hip replacement or heart surgery in a timely manner? It usually works once they figure out them and their doctors are taken out of the equation and a faceless bureaucrat gets to decide whether you live or die.
