That table will interest you.

No surprise there. Half of us rarely get sick enough to see a doctor. Of the remaining half, a small number are chronically ill and, a tiny number are critically ill, knocking on death's door, consuming resources like there's no tomorrow...

We've all been there and seen that to some degree.

And those numbers make very clear one "solution" to skyrocketing health care costs: Weigh costs vs. benefits. How old is the patient? What are her chances? What's the prognosis? How much value is there in saving her? I think it was Sarah Palin who coined the term, "death panels."

Repealing Obamacare is a good start. Then what? It's only a matter of time before it's here again, with some "improvements." Single-payer still looms on the horizon. The sheeple will demand it and death panels will be there.

"The Six Million Dollar Man". The medical industry will attempt to fix anything and if someone else is paying the demand is infinite.

The bible says "if someone will not work then neither shall they eat". Liberals reject the bible to buy votes. So if a person refuses to work and gets hungry, it turns out that being hungry is a healthcare issue so the government will feed you. "Making the word of God of no effect".
