Bottom line.....
If there is any way you can, stay away from hospitals.
Factor in low paid custodial staff, millions of new Medicaid patients, millions of foreign born immigrants, and it might be much safer to die at home.
I can imagine Joseph Lister’s reaction to today’s hospitals. He would shudder at the near-100 percent reversal on his antiseptic techniques.
God willing, that’s my plan.
I'm cynical. Next to nobody is signing up for nazi health insurance, So now, we're hearing about a swine flu epidemic-to-be and killer bugs that are drug resistant. Next the media will be feeding us stories about how expensive health care is for those who aren't insured and end up paying the bills for their medical care.
And about those hospitals. If you show up at one and they decide you MIGHT have a killer flu or whatever that's contagious, the hospital can force you into quarantine. You're not getting out until they do tests and decide you don't have a deadly contagious disease. Only problem is they might give you one before they end your incarceration. It happened to me four years ago, when I had symptoms similar to swine flu.
