It is one thing to deal with bureaucrats when you are at the Department of Motor Vehicles and in good health. It is something else when you have to deal with bureaucrats when you are lying on a gurney and bleeding or are doubled over in pain on a hospital bed.
Great stuff ping.
The continuing Newspeak.
Illegal Immigration and Legal Immigration are consolidated into: Immigration
Embryonic, Umbilical, and Adult Stem Cells are consolidated into: Stem Cells
Government Spending = Reinvestment
Welfare = Tax Cuts
etc
Medicare was the first step down the road to ruinous,expensive medical care. Dr Sowell hits another home run!
Smartest man in America ping!
Socializing ,medical care in the US will destroy what is left of medical care in the other countries. Medical research, done here and done in other countries is all solely driven by the American market because Americans pay the cost of their drugs and, in the patent period the tremendous costs of R&D are repaid. In a Universal system that cannot be allowed because the Government will be paying for medical care and will not pay the prices of new drugs. Without the American more-or-less free medical market R&D will not happen. It cannot be paid for. We may reason that well, we are so much better off than we were 50 years ago, we really don’t need to improve any more. But then there are antibiotics. They “wear out” as the germs develop immunities to them. There must be constant development of new antibiotics. Without that very expensive R&D after a while there will be, effectively, no antibiotics. You get sick, well, there is a big chance that you die of it. Women have to birth 10 kids and more just to perpetuate humanity. Most of those kids will not live to be adults. Universal Health Care i.e. socialized medicine in the US will put medicine back to 1910 for the whole world.
“But those who cannot be bothered with the facts may help destroy the best medical care in the world by falling for political rhetoric.”
BUMP!
Hey, Jaz!
I’m currently reading ‘Economic Facts and Fallacies’ by Dr. Sowell. Good stuff. :)
The crazy thing is, I’ve wanted to add another tagline for ages along the lines of “Why do people think federal-run health care will work better than state-run DMVs?”
I can’t believe people are so absurd now as to believe our medical system “stinks”. They have NO idea.
Frankly, I’m tired of these communist bastards. That’s what it’s all about - they’re hoping for something for nothing.
