The Democrats are Liars and Cheats and Thieves.Fiona Bernardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05907366833096699328noreply@blogger.comBlogger2125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921293226506503314.post-44764393713845159682009-07-31T18:47:08.049-07:002009-07-31T18:47:08.049-07:00I see Senator Dodd has been diagnosed with prostat...I see Senator Dodd has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and will immediately undergo treatment. That means he will have a consult and testing with doctors and labs, all paid-for by a government-funded and run healthcare system that provides the best healthcare in the world -- to the Senators.<br /><br />Then he will have surgery, and all his costs -- the hospital room, the nurses, anesthesiologists, surgeons, pre-op, post-op, recovery -- will be paid by the government-funded and run healthcare system provided to the Senators.<br /><br />Then he will have post-operative treatment again, all paid for by the same federal healthcare system.<br /><br />He will probably pay less (even if he has co-pays) for his cancer than I will pay for my stupid little broken bones. And for everyone in the public who is pushing the idea that federally-funded healthcare won't be as good, or will include delays -- many of us, myself included, the Senators included, would be willing to put up with some restrictions in order to get free healthcare.<br /><br />I wish him well. But if the Democrats don't create a real public healthcare system, at least allowing those of us who choose to join, then we need to get honest, and just say that the U.S. has healthcare available for the rich, but not for anybody else.Fiona Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05907366833096699328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-921293226506503314.post-7805397913310224512009-07-30T12:12:29.360-07:002009-07-30T12:12:29.360-07:00Hey Nab...

This is an issue I don't follow, because there's a limit to what my already frazzled brain can handle, but your list was a gentler survey of some of the many, many dodges and switch-backs ahead with hybrid healthcare and the usual crazy grab-bag of regulations that lobbyists will design to deceive and defraud the rest us helpless <i>meatballs</i> in the American melting-pot.<br /><br />We can't stand the heat, but we can't get out of the kitchen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
