For crying out loud, people, you get what you pay for! If you want exclusion from astronomically expensive tests, I’m sure there’s an insurance company out there that will write such a policy real cheap, but don’t expect it to work real well if you get some disastrous disease that mimics about ten others. Just hope you hang on long enough to sue the “incompetent” doctor because, obviously, it would be his fault he couldn’t find it in time.

I love how medicine is headed back to leeches. Except now they’re the patients, not the “cures”.

- “Decisions will still be made by doctors and patients and the system won’t be politicized.”

Fat chance. Funding conflicts between mental health and gynecology will be based on which pressure group offers the richer bribe or appears more politically correct. The closing (or opening) of a hospital will be based not on need but which subcommittee chairman’s district the hospital is in. Imagine the centralization of all medical research in the country in the brand new Robert Byrd Medical Center in Morgantown, W.Va. You get the idea.

It’s invaluable for rebutting the leftist talking points on health care.
