I have seen thousands of people who are helped to stay alive longer and enjoy it far better than otherwise possible by this great institution and the Dr.s there and their chief practitioners, nurses, therapists, specialists, etc. I tell you, they are among the most capable, personable and professional in the world.
The very idea that these sick, fascist/Nazi bastard SOBs (and pardon my French) would somehow work it to deny coverage of this type to the tens of thousands who need it and are now getting it in the best medical system in the world...turns my stomach, causes me literally to puke, and makes me see red.
For people like me, who are being treated now on an ongoing basis for very rare cancers that in my State of Idaho they had never even seen one like, much less treated...the long term prognosis of this type of decision will ensure a much earlier death.
Here's a warning to these sick POSs. There are people who will not only see red, but will demand equal payment in kind. When you push good people to the point of death, they sometimes decide that they might as well take a few of the sorry bastards with them.
Other's may say..."But what good will that do, you are not going to get at the real culprits."
Perhaps not at first...but as more and more are forced into that logic, and more and more people rebel against this, the more whittling and nibbling will occur, and they will ultimately cut into the muscle, the meat, and then into the control mechanisms of this monstrosity. On top of that, these tyrants cannot keep all of the people necessary to defend themselves on their own plans...so there will be push back and fighting within their own ranks.
The monsters behind this need to feel directly the weight of their decisions. This is not something where people tighten their belts and don't spend $50 or a $100 dollars as much on fuel because of their leftist/Marxist/fascist decisions, they are pushing it to a life or death condition for a more and more people.
And that is their intent. It has been all along.
It is becoming more and more patently obvious that this isn't, and never was about "affordable," or "good health care," in the least.
It is about the abject and naked use of life and death conditions to compel and force the people of this nation, using health care as a weapon, to bow down at the alter of big government, do it their way, or risk death...they are abject tyrants trying to exercise complete control.
Well, they have completely miscalculated. I pray in 2014 and 2016 we turn this completely around as a result of their miscalculations. But make no mistake. It is also different this time. People's very life and that of their loved ones now hang in the balance and it is becoming clear to them.
These dastardly, evil, conspiring, lieing, powermonging despots may soon learn what King George, the Barbary tyrants, Hitler, Mojo, Stalin, Hussein, Bin Laden and so many others learned.
...and as Patrick Henry knew, 235 years ago; 'There is a just God who presides in the Heavens. We will not fight alone. He will raise friends...and conditions...to fight with us. And a free, God fearing people, who repent and humble themselves before the God of this land, will bring the tyrants down.' (II Chron 7:14)
Sic Semper Tyranus!
I've BEEN there (on the ready) for some time now.
I'm quite sure I have emphasema (no one will actually SAY the word ... just .. COPD), and I know enough about how badly I breathe ...
never mind.
Love to you and yours, brother ... Merry Christmas.
Your rant is probably prophetic.

God bless you and your family, Jeff. You know, there are a lot of us older types out there who understand what’s going on and share your outlook.
There is justice, and then there is retribution.
God will preserve you, Jeff. Thanks for your comments.
They truly have miscalculated. A grizzly is most dangerous when backed into a corner or worse when her cubs are in the corner with her.
Right on, brother!
I continue to keep you in my prayers. You are an inspiration for all of us.
Amen.
I agree with you completely Jeff
As JimRob said, Amen!
Amen! MD Anderson has performed miracles for so many people.
Hope you have a great Christmas!
Our nations health care system was sent on a path of destruction by the Late Senator Teddy The Swimmer who was never anything but the best health care taxpayers could buy. The HMO Act which is what mainly killed off affordable private insurance. HMO's will be the ones managing whatever sort of abomination this all works out too.
18 years ago before I had to retire I had decent health care insurance. My employer a health care facility with about 200 employees was self insured. Even at lower wages the $500 deductible a year I could absorb. I chose any doctor I wanted and any hospital. The company was also protected by a catastrophic policy they carried when it hit the $10K yr mark on an individual.
What angers me most was most of the underlying causes of high health care cost were never addressed to start with. One was the HMO ACT. The next of course was Tort Reform for doctors and hospitals. The FDA also needed to make it much easier, quicker, and a fraction of the cost to get newer drugs on the market.
The doctors have been made out to look like greedy monsters in all of this. My doctor still makes hospital rounds. When my wife is in the hospital he shows up about 6:00am. I know for a fact he's still seeing patients in his office at 5:00pm. In 28 years of dealing with many doctors for my wife's ongoing issues only two doctors she ever saw should have been disciplined. One was a dentist doing procedures he was not trained to do and other was a Moron in an ER who did not do a simple PDR on medications and adverse reactions. The ER doctor I took care of not by suing but by contacting hospital Chief Of Staff and telling him what happened.
We've done been through several health care non availability crisis after our state in about 1995 went to a HMO System on Medicaid thnks to a DEM governor and a RINO to follow as well as the help of Gore. We lost two doctors in about a year and none would take my wife because of dual eligibility. I was smart enough to have enough on hand the have to have medications to cover the six month plus Gaps.
I believe that unless the 2014 election produces some very major turnover in congress including the booting out of the current GOP leadership sell outs McConnell and BooHooner our health care system as we knew it before the PelosiCare/ObamaCare Tyranny will be in complete chaos.
We need term limits in Congress. Eight years lifetime for REPs and no more than Twelve years lifetime for senators. Perhaps it's also time to start electing Federal Judges rather than having appointed Feral Judges on the bench. There should be no lifetime appointments in any court.
......and I am so thankful you and all of us have access to such fine hospitals.
I understand your anger...
Just recently my husband was spared because his doctor refered him to the Mayo Clinic...
I can't imagine not having the choice of our great hospitals.
Daily, our citizens are inundated with more c-r-a-p from this administration.
We are all at the breaking point.
