re: #661 tveitskog

Where’s the lie? Sarah stated “ (quote) The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. (end of qoute)” There is a playing of words and of course the bill doesn’t say “death panels” but the result is someone is going to live and someone is going to die.

Under the present system, it is I who could be going to die:

It’s like waiting to be gut shot by Godot.

And how much more health care could be afforded if so much value were not being siphoned off to afford massive profits for personal injury lawyers and health insurance companies? Enough to offset bureaucratic government waste?

It’s a legitimate question.
