Can you imagine how the life-saving care will be allocated?

Lupus afflicts Jews and requires dialysis. Sickle cell anemia afflicts African Americans. AIDS disproportionately afflicts the bugerers. Can you imagine the government making a statistical finding that it is uneconomical to treat these diseases in Jews, Blacks and Queers so the three groups must be left to their fate?

By the very politically correct choices the government makes in treating diseases which are the flavor of the month, the government creates incentives to invent the machines and the drugs for that treatment, thus making the treatment more costly. As the philosopher said, one cannot observe or report history without distorting it. How much more is the distortion created by financing the system!

Are women going to suffer the diversion of money from the treatment of breast cancer to the treatment of lupus, sickle cell anemia, or AIDS? That is the inevitable result after all. Inevitably, the government must choose whether to kill Jews or blacks so that the other group can live.

But there is a happy ending, every distortion will require a liberal to fix it. They're just ate no end to doing good.

In the final analysis the concept of "healthcare as a right" is very unamerican. Healthcare is actually the product of an interaction between two private parties, the patient and the physician. Physicians provide a service. Since when does our gummint have the authority to tell one citizen they have the right to the services of another citizen? In which other relationship does this occur? I can't think of one.

These Liberal ghouls plans will include (this time) Christians, gun owners, Conservatives, extremists (to be determined by those in power), anyone over 50 and the list goes on. Welcome to the new version of Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

This is precisely how the latest incarnation of "National(ized) Healthcare" must be presented!!! Until people fear their personal ox getting gored, they're gonna play along with our new "we shall overcome" el Presidente/Commandante!!!
