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

...Jim Thompson
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
Wrong
Really?
healthcare sure does solve that 'problem' because you can't sue
the government
Sure looks like you made the claim. lol
What was that about a 'lying ass'...?
