No Glen. It6's DIABLO CARE . What would you expect of it, anything less? How about the death sentence it will impose on the elderly and the young .... those "not worth saving"? Many will begin to understand when they face VA style health care. Months and months to wait until you can face an incompetent Dr that will work the long hours for such little pay. You aren't going to get top notch practitioners to work those conditions.
Well Dane,
In your Utopian world everyone either works for free or gets paid the same. Get a clue. A doctor runs up a good many years of his life studying before he can even practice. That costs him tens of thousands of dollars. Then when he can practice, he has to pay thousands to set up a practice, and thousands more to pay for liability insurance because lawyers and judges hand our these millions of dollars in frivolous lawsuits. You will get your Utopian doctors soon enough. They will have the education of someone who works at Burger King and they will have the same skills that they guy at Burger King (that couldn't get your order right to save his life) has when it comes to treating you. OOPS I thought I was supposed to amputate his leg not put a band aid on it. Good luck with that.
How about you work for nothing. How about you give up your home and land to someone who doesn't have as much as you? How about you farm for free since people need to eat to stay alive? People shouldn't be charged for food anyway...right? Or is it a one way street with you? I have news for you. This regime DOES want your property. They do not believe in property rights. After all, why should anyone inherit something that they did not earn themselves? That sound good to you? Maybe when you have to have some emergency treatment they should take all you own for payment. It is heading that way, you know. Maybe you don't need to own a car for transportation. A lot of poor people don't have cars. Shouldn't we also give up ours? Oops... I don't have a car.
Maybe we should all be on minimum wage. Try finding quality workmen and service providers then. Order a hamburger at Mc Donalds without mustard or onions and see how far you get. I know, just try altering an order in any manner and see how many times they don't get it right. Actually try to order anything from most of the brain dead who work at minimum wage and see how that works for ya.
So you think a doctor owes you? Just how f8568n important do you think you are anyway that you can determine that a man should be your slave and work to serve you for nothing just because he is intelligent enough to have gotten an education that took him a dozen years to earn? And why should any nurse or the hospital staff or the administrators go to serve you for free? No wonder this country is so upside down with people demanding ridiculous things for their absurd beliefs and feelings of self importance. Go figure.
Hey, I know. "Where the hell is that Cancer specialist? I only have a couple of months to live unless I get treatment" Sorry. He had to work a doubble shifts at McDonalds this week"
