The difference is that Americans, unlike the Brits, who have suffered with the NHS since the end of WWII, are used to excellent medical care - not rationing - and won't simply roll over and take this kind of screw job from their government. Well, I hope not. However, if we just accept this kind of rationing, we'll get what we deserve, but I don't think that will happen.
Never heard of HMO's huh?
A young boy, from Maryland, called Levin last Friday and told him of a movie they were forced to watch, no opt out option. The gist of the propaganda film was that it is selfish and unpatriotic for old people to hold onto life, and rob resources from the needy.
Gee where have we seen that kind of Propaganda before, Oh I remember it was in 1939.
