#1 Who would you rather be?

A cost or a customer?

Organisations always minimise costs.

#2 Medicare.
Medicare.
Medicare.
The Gubmint can't get that to work properly, refuses to plan for its near future, and now wants to create an even bigger monster. Idiots writing legislation for a nation of idiots.

#3 From the ABC ObamaCare infomercial:

Dr. Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldnt seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan hes proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.

The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if its my family member, if its my wife, if its my children, if its my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.

Read it all here.

#4 Health care is rationed now, as is everything else in the world. The rationing mechanism we use is called 'money.'

All that Bammo is suggesting is to change the rationing mechanism. He wants to ration based on scarcity instead of money.

Reminds me of an old cold war joke about the difference between communism and socialism. Under socialism you wait in line to buy oranges. Under communism you say 'what are oranges'? I guess you could round out the comparison by adding that under capitalism we have to pay money for oranges. Gasp. The horror.
