re: #96 SixDegrees

Not at all surprising. This is what happens when you make medical care a political decision rather than a medical decision. The same thing is common throughout Europe, with countless “alternative” treatments merrily provided at taxpayer expense.

And politicians are only too happy to go along with such demands. On the one hand, it allows them to curry favor with special interest groups. And on the other, it reduces the strain on an unworkable system by providing worthless “care” and getting people off the system by dying.

Pretty soon, we’ll all be paying for Cherokee Hair Tampons.

Problem: Dead people can’t pay health care premiums.
