[Wilhelm Tell]

You know it is only a matter of time before the left demands that people with hepatitis and other diseases be granted the "right" to donate blood. After all, these diseases are a disability, and it is discrimination to not allow people with communicable diseases to donate blood. The leftists will say that people who are afraid of AIDS or other diseases are neurotic, and the minute America gets socialized medicine all diseases will be magically cured, anyways.

The leftists will say that people who are afraid of AIDS or other diseases are neurotic, and the minute America gets socialized medicine all diseases will be magically cured, anyways.

The dirty little secret about socialized medicine is that if the procedure is too expensive or difficult to obtain because of shortages the patient will be told there is no cure for his problem and will be sent home to prepare his estate (happened to my cousin in Canada - he ended up flying to the US, having surgery here, and surviving another 8 years). /end thread hijack.
