Oregon issued guidance on Friday for how hospitals should prioritize care in critical situations amid a surge of omicron coronavirus cases.

The Oregon Health Authority gave hospitals in the state an interim crisis care tool that would help them decide how to prioritize care in the event resources that multiple patients need are limited.

How does the State run Medicine if it’s not totally socialized?

The People’s Republic of Oregon is beyond saving. Portland, Eugene, Salem control the vast majority of votes, and they’re beyond far left.

I really feel sorry for the conservatives who live in the smaller towns and have to put up with the utter idiocy forced upon them by the big cities.

Kinda like Washington where I live…

The left ridiculed Sarah Palin for daring to say the quiet part out loud:

death panels

I’m in Oregon and there is a way to change things, its called local control of local elections.

The left-wing is gaining political experience by winning elections in conservative areas, in nonpartisan races.
These are school board, city council,judges, etc.

I’m going to identify every democrat holding these offices in my City and County and provide this information to Republican voters.

We have to knockout the little “wokecrats” before we KO the bigger “wokecrats.” Just like a boxer moving up in the rankings.

“Triage decisions will be made without regard to morally or scientifically irrelevant considerations such as income, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, health insurance coverage or other factors,” according to the guidance.”

That’s an improvement over some places where minorities are given preference.

First of all, you must have COVID in order to be treated. So if you have a broken leg, go out and get COVID before going to the hospital. Secondly, COVID patients will be quarantined only. The third rule is that the first two rules only apply to American citizens. If you are undocumented, you can still come in for any reason for free.

That ship sailed back in 1965.

“That ship sailed back in 1965.”

The system will stay where it is as long as employer based healthcare is working.

When employers start dropping the bloated premiums that go into the healthcare sector, leaving people without healthcare. The system will be reformed into a national healthcare system where you don’t have Medicare or Medicaid, you just have a Healthcare sector for the American people.

It’ll probably happen in 10-15 years.

This has been the holy grail of freakshow globalists.

If you are reading this, keep your head on a swivel lest you end up all alone on an ice floe, floating off into the distance.

Sarah Palin called. [Fill in the remainder of this clever quip as you see fit.]

So, illegals before taxpayers if the illegal arrives sick as a dog with mulitple co-morbidities. Got it.

How do you get around 100% mail in ballots that only the government knows if they are counted properly or at all?

“How do you get around 100% mail in ballots that only the government knows if they are counted properly or at all?”

You register as many people as possible, then have a “ballot party” where you educate the new voter, who to vote for.(This is only viable in VBM States)

Ballots are counted where ever your County Clerk is located, if you’re worried about fraud, become involved in the process.

As far as absentee and VBM ballots, there is a solution:

1) Name on the ballot
2) Address on the ballot
3) Signature on the ballot
4) Gritty DMV photo on the ballot

The American establishment doesn’t want these changes, because it limits their ability to cheat in elections. They love the “SECRET BALLOT” it doesn’t have a “paper trail.”

Many States already require a thumb print on driving license and I think they should be required on ballots since signatures vary so much over the years, along with your list.

“Many States already require a thumb print on driving license and I think they should be required on ballots since signatures vary so much over the years, along with your list.”

I agree, that sounds like a good solution.

My signature is all over place, so I don’t want votes denied over signatures.

Name and Address is a “no brainer” IMO for ballots that aren’t at a polling place.(absentee & VBM)
