"Those out of luck are the people at high risk of death and a slim chance of long-term survival, such as people over 85, severe burn victims over 60 and people with severe mental impairment."

Subsequently, the DR would resemble a ghost town.

Solid advice... Although, I doubt they're going to be asking the surgeons for advice anyways on who lives and dies... Still though, best to keep her happy just in case.

FF btw

Rob, if she quit bitching about it so much nobody would know anyway...........

........and thank goodness you're not a dr lib with no sense of humor.....

If we take the Capitalism out of health care there will be no reason to invent new vaccines so it's a matter of time till a pandemic happens.

Just like when they killed old yeller. And btw, a yearly flu epidemic is not a pandemic, so if any of you try to whack me when i get the sniffles....

You'll never take the capitalism out of healthcare... If the libs succeed and create a universal system it will either work or it will fail. If it works, it means doctors and labs will be getting paid and things will be fine... if it fails, it means doctors and labs and such won't be getting paid, so they'll stop accepting the government system... at which point it will crumble and die and we'll go back to a way that works.

The only doctors and part of a hospital that has to treat patients is the emergency/urgent care wings... then they just have to stabalize you. After that, doctors don't have to do anything... we'll be fine... just might sting for a while.

Sad, but true......and necessary.

Tell us oh wise one, how does someone look at another and determine their political views? Can you do it without sounding like an ass?

Now I know why they ask my party affiliation on all the new patient forms.

So duh, you silly libs: Lie if asked. Tell 'em you are a republican.

What if a Sickle cell anemia pandemic broke out? Would the doctors still single / group out people at high risk of death and a slim chance of long-term survival, such as people over 85, severe burn victims over 60 and people with severe mental impairment.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease.

Yes. It's called "triage". It's been going on for hundreds of years.

What's your point? Not being sarcastic just don't get it.

There is nothing new here - It's just Triage.

"You'll never take the capitalism out of healthcare... "

no matter what happens
hill, barack, mccain or other yet to be seen future changes


insurance is what they will be affecting
how the docs get paid, not what they get paid

docs in the usa will still charge a crap load
and still be rich
which is cool :)

geez...sounding like an Alex Jones convention around here. Vernon....can I borrow your tinfoil roll?

But think of all the victims of restless leg syndrome. I think shirt's just pissed cause the Enzyte didn't work...

They mean what they say - don't break both your ankles!

Yup. Pontification worthy of Benny 16 hisself. As brilliant as:

"The only doctors and part of a hospital that has to treat patients is the emergency/urgent care wings... then they just have to stabalize you."

If I penned that, Wob, I'd be embarrassed to show it to wifeypoo, the doc and breadwinner. herm

Bush decides who dies in the middle east.

Doctors decide who body parts they will sell when their patient accidentally dies.

This is America. Learn the rules.

These are the same physicians who use their medical judgment (sic) when an abortion is recommended.
