How would you react if your doctor wanted to treat you with leaches, phrenology, and shock therapy? That’s essentially what Obama is proposing. No, I’m not suggesting that socialized medicine will treat people with leaches. I’m making the comparison to old medical philosophies and techniques that were debunked a long time ago.
The simple fact is that everywhere it’s tried it leads to rationed healthcare. This means that if you have non-urgent surgery, you could wait up to a year.
Aside from national defense, can you name one government run industry that has succeeded?
When people need exceptional care, they come to America. They don’t go to Canada and they don’t go to England. They come to the USA because we have the best healthcare system in the world.
We do take care of the poor and while I think something needs to be done about the insurance racket, I don’t want to have to have the democrat equivalent of ration stamps just to get a normal procedure.
