“There are no other options in a single-payer system; either the government will choose to pay for your care or it won’t, and if it chooses not to, then you’re out of luck—unless, of course, you are a millionaire like Bernie Sanders.”
If you’ve been following the NHS in UK, it’s far worse than that, they have to ration care, not just deny payment for it. They don’t just decide what services can be funded, but which you are permitted to receive. Rationed care is the inevitable result of single-payer health insurance. People who can afford to pay are still not permitted to purchase the services they need.
A good recent example is Alfie Evans. NHS not only refused corrective, life-saving care, but took his parents to court to deny them the right to provide that care in the U.S. after at least one medical institution offered to deliver that care for free and they had a go-fund-me account to cover the costs and transportation fees. Alfie is now dead and his parents weren’t even permitted to take him home from the hospital to die in peace. They were afraid his parents would illegally save their child’s life by escaping to the U.S.
That is what a death panel really looks like and we don’t have that in the U.S. . .at least, not yet.
bttt
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is embarrassingly wrong about...
Everything!!!
“She’s getting way too much press...”
Yes and no. While I agree that she is a TOTAL NUTCASE now...she also represents the direction that the Democrats are going.
If we choose to ignore (and maybe even laugh at) what she’s saying and doing - we DESERVE the fate that the Left has in store for us, starting with CONCENTRATION CAMPS, for the purpose of re-education.
Fine, laugh at me, just as the ‘mainstream’ Jews of Germany LAUGHED at the relatively small number of Jews who ‘claimed’ that things would get really bad under Hitler.
“She’s getting way too much press..”
She’s 1/435th of the House of Representatives, but by the amount of press coverage she’s receiving you would think she was President.
I’ve lost count of how many threads there were just today with some idiotic thing she’s said.
Socialists ALWAYS have death panels. Ask the mentally challenged, depressed, gay or Jewish of Nazi Germany. Wait, you can’t because they’re dead.
My favorite quote of hers:
“If you can’t afford something, then pay for it and you can have it”
Like TOTALLY!
Did she actually ever have insurance as a bartender? Does she know how it works?
She is amazingly ill-informed for a person elected to her position. Socialist systems have failed virtually everywhere they have been tried (see Venezuela)......for a first termer, she has a real big mouth and had better watch her step or she will disappear from the public eye...
Seriously???
Sorry, gotta disagree. The more press she gets the more people realize she's an idiot, implicating the Democratic Socialists in the process.
Go go AOC. Tell us more, much more :)
She could have chosen brain surgery as her specialty. We got off easy.
This silly LIEberal bitch is WRONG about EVERYTHING!
Her 15 minutes of fame have lasted FAR TOO LONG!
It IS that she’s deliberately trying to mislead people!
AND, she just doesn’t know what she’s talking about!
Why should we “Give her the benefit of the doubt?”
She is a dumbass LIEberal!
Dumbass LIEberals should NEVER be given the benefit of the doubt!
Well, that is a stretch!
I doubt ANYONE can ever top ol’ Joe.
HST, Occasional-Cortex is giving it the ol’ college try!
BTW, she has GOT to be a major embarrassment to Boston University, where she majored in economics and international relations!
Ezekiel “ Dr Death” Emmanuel being a prime architect of obamacare
Do you remember when Obama said that older people should forego medical procedures like hip replacement and simply “ take a pain pill”?
Unlike his Granny we suppose, who defied his coldness
Do you remember when his HHS Director Sibelius refused to let a child accept an adult liver transplant ( which her doctors were advocating) because “ some live and some die”
The absolute coldness of a govt bureaucracy deciding when YOU have had your “ share” of medical services and should accept death!!

She’s getting way too much press...
Exactly, I agree and started calling her out as well
She is Trumping us.....
