As Flu Vaccines Run Short In America, Obama Makes Sure Terrorist Detainees At Gitmo Get Their Shots
Glad to see the man has his priorities down.
“As long as Americans must wait to receive the vaccine, the detainees in Guantanamo Bay should not be given preferential treatment to receive the H1N1 vaccination,” Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) wrote in a letter to Secretary of the Army John McHugh on Friday.
Pence, too, shared Stupak’s concerns, but he also used his interview Friday to take a shot at Democrats—and their handling of other healthcare crises—in particular.
“I think this is exactly the kind of misadministration of healthcare, this and other aspects of the way this government is responding to the H1N1 virus, that ought to give the American people great pause about this massive government-run insurance plan that’s been unveiled this week by House Democrats,” Pence said.
This is the problem with giving the government control over health care. The government makes stupid decisions.
In a health care market place supply and demand distributes services and care as equitably as possible. In a government-controlled system, it all depends on what the priorities of those in charge are.
What would you rather be in thrall to? The whims of the markets or the whims of the politicians?
