Sad but true.

Pparets. I am sure you can find a lot of Linda O’Boyle’s, and many pin-heads whose highest priority is always profit, here in our beloved USA.

Ellinas:  Maybe so, but not under socialized mdicine.

Can you back up the statement with some examples?  Didn’t think so.

Question: Do you even consider the validity of the assertions you post?  Didn’t think so.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Ya mean to tell me someone of means and some working stiff get the same medical care? Ya got to be kidding me! And provide you examples? Many of them, but you would find something else to argue about, wouldn’t ya? I thought so.
Earth to docdave: A person I know cannot afford the $900.00 copay for the MRI. Another one I know got as many as neccessary without worring about cost.

e can’t even come up with a definition of “profit”, but he just knows it’s evil, because Karl Marx told him so.
Pathetic.

If life doesn’t begin at conception, why do they call it birth control?

I don’t jump when you say jump, you chump!
I jump when I deem it necessary.

e man can’t jump!

Earth to ellinas:  When did profit become an evil thing?

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Bat: As you probably know, Karl Marx referred to profit in business as “the unearned increment”, stolen from the workers(the only real source of value).  e man is just jumping to his Master’s command.

When the person in charge of a healthcare related buisiness placed it ahead of a person’s well being.

When the person in charge of a healthcare related buisiness placed it ahead of a person’s well being.

That’s a total fabrication, based on the false teachings of Karl Marx.  If you knew what profit really was, you wouldn’t make such a ridiculous statement.

If life doesn’t begin at conception, why do they call it birth control?

It was a govt policy decision that killed her; it had everything to do with the govt’s lust for control, and had nothing whatsoever to do with “profit”.

ellinas,

But if there is no profit, why would the doctor, the drug company, the health insurance carrier, the home healthcare supply distributor, the medical billing company, the bandage manufacturer, the medical records software company, the office supply retailer, the medical uniform provider, the PET scan, CAT scan, EKG machine, echo-cardiogram, surgical instrument, stent, suture, ambulance, and latex glove manufacturers be in business in the first place?

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

BatOne:  Liberals have come to believe that health care is an entitlement if not a constitutional right.

Hence, they have no problem with a bureaucrat like Health Minister Johnson making life-and-death decisions as long as every one dies equally, or preferably, people of means like Linda O’Boyle.

And, of course, liberals would gladly take away our right to choose our own health-care provider and spend our tax-dollars - yours and mine - all the while claiming that they are the party that “cares”.

We are and must defend our freedoms.

Communism is evil

Liberals have come to believe that health care is an entitlement if not a constitutional right…

pparets,

As Markos himself once put it so inelegantly, “Screw ‘em!”

My responsibilities in life, including those to my fellow men and women, are mine to decide, not some liberal bureaucrat in search of one more excuse to further deprive me of my freedom.

Ooooooohhhh-eeeeeeeeh!!!! All the vultures are circling above my head. I am not dead yet guys! Stop circling and sit your asses down. Maybe than you will have a better perspective on the situation.

ellinas wants “perspective”.

Here you go, ellinas.

Your kind controlling health care would be a death sentence to many.

Your “highest priority” is cheating, lying, and control.

You may now continue your mindless bitching about profit, as if your hypocritical lying ass works for free.

ellinas: 

You mean to tell me someone of means and some working stiff get the same medical care?

Well, no, of course not.  Anymore than I get to drive a BMW because my neighbor has one.

The working stiff gets whatever his health-care plan provides for, or he gets free assistance at hostpital EMS or at neigborhood clinics. A level of care, by the way, which is still better than 75% of the world’s population gets.

Your friend can apply for a low-cost or free MRI by going to the right source.  Of course, he/she will be on a waiting list, but he/she would be anyway in a NHC system.  The wait in Canada is 3 - 6 months.

Lik! I find nothing wrong with honest profit.
Furthermore, people in countries with “socialist” as some of you would call their health care are living just as many years if not more than US.

The life expectancy issue comes down to the terrible choices too many Americans make on a daily basis about their poor diet, lack of physical activity and risky behaviors; alcohol, tobacco, drugs, std’s. 

Every time I get home from Europe, I am reminded of and shocked at the prevailing obesity everywhere in the states!

Most of this has little or nothing to do with socialized medicine.

ellinas - Furthermore, people in countries with “socialist” as some of you would call their health care are living just as many years if not more than US.

Why the scare quotes? Just be honest.

People in Japan live longer?

No kidding?

Think that the small difference could possibly be attributed to genetics, not to mention the quality of life choices detailed by pparets above?

I find nothing wrong with honest profit.

You lie again; since you don’t know what “profit” means, you have no idea of what you are talking about.

of a person’s well being.

You lie again; this thread is about a woman who was killed by a “not for profit” national healthcare system that exercised totalitarian control over her care.  A free market healthcare system would have sustained her.
You just don’t get it.  In your zeal to bash the American economic system, you have to continually lie.

If life doesn’t begin at conception, why do they call it birth control?

pp: Absolutely.  “Freedom” also means the freedom to screw up.  We have the freedom to do what we desire, without a totalitarian govt micromanaging our lives, and we also have the freedom to enjoy the consequences of our choices; it’s a character issue.
The NHS showed to typical callousness and low character of socialism-infected societies.

this is such a tragic news
