Important Health Care Announcement...
Mayo Clinic (Glendale, AZ) announced today that they will no
longer accept future Medicare patients, etc...

Was listening to the radio today. I think that it was the
substitute for Rush Limbaugh...
They mentioned the Amish communities that put aside a cash
reserve for health care. When someone needs medical care (at a
hospital), they negotiate a cash price rate. This rate is
substantially lower than the normal insurance rate.
What does this say about another layer of middlemen and
bureaucrats that would only further raise the costs of care when
government gets involved?
Obama care aside. It is pretty pathetic that insurance as it is
increases the care provider's costs so. A while back I needed to
get an orthotics device (drop foot brace) for my wife. Surgical
supply store quoted something like $275. I balked but took out
my checkbook. The owner thought a minute and reduced the price
by almost 50% since I paid 'cash' and he wouldn't have to wait
for reimbursement.

It's probably been mentioned before, but this graphic from that
well-known lefty marxist rag, National Geographic (*National*,
get it? How much more of an admission of a socialist -- or
National Socialist -- agenda is needed? Scary stuff!) is pretty
telling:

The problem with simplistic graphs and explanations is precisely
that they're baby talk simplistic.
For example, one of the reasons for the "unneeded treatment," as
they put it, is ass covering for law suits due to the "absolute
liability" principle U.S. courts have placed on the system.
No such thing has occurred.

My bad, I meant strict liability.
"Government"
healthcare sure does solve that 'problem' because you can't sue
the government and the 'remedy' is whatever the government, not a
'sympathetic' jury, decides to provide.
Sorry, Obamacare uses private providers.
So did Mussolini.
That doesn't save your point.
My point, as it was written, stands on it's own.
So, it is your actual claim that government cannot be sued? lol
