He tried to get healthcare rationing for the elderly, along with the Hemlock Society, in Obamacare. Hey, just occurred to me, Covid-19 is killing mostly the elderly, using our valuable Social Security and Medicare resources, another coincident? And the resolution Is redistribution of wealth. Looks like the Dems win all the way around.

Unreal.

RMS Titanic - it only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people—about half the number on board, and one-third of her total capacity. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died.

What is happening in Italy should remind us why we DON'T want "medicare-for-all", with its mandatory health-care-rationing. More patients won't translate into more resources to care for those patients, and the most "useful" to society will get cared-for first, while the least "useful" to society may get completely denied care.

The VA has been rationing health-care for a long time, and it's only getting worse. Now, they are encouraging patients to not come in unless it is absolutely necessary, even if they have an appointment. I have two appointments next Tuesday, both are routine, and neither one would be "necessary" if my primary care doctor didn't "have" to see me to refill one of my meds. I would rather NOT have to spend four-plus hours there, but I haven't gotten any indication that either of the appointments is canceled.
