Beerfart Liberal on his rationed care:
I’m, sorry, can I go off topic. It’s about health care. Two weeks ago I’m told I’m supposed to have a friggin biopsy and I’m sitting here scared shitless and I call today (again) to find out when TF is my friggin test and my friggin’ insurance company hasn’t approved it yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, no. There’s nothing wrong with our healthcare system that a little malpractice reform won’t fix, right?
Piss me off.
Tell me again how we’re planning to ration care in the U.S. if we pass health reform. We ration care now!!!!!
And we ration it to make a profit. Gotta love our health care system, right? Best in the world…

Perhaps we’re going about this the wrong way. Maybe we should first demand that everyone be on equal footing vis-a-vis health care: The Mandatory Equal-Footing Health Care Act. The bill can’t be any more or less pages or any more or less unequivocal than what might come out of Treasury under Hank Paulson.
so the Obamacare solution is to make it mandatory to enroll in a for-profit insurance plan?!?!?
what a nightmare.
The Mandatory Equal Footing Health Care Act would mandate that everyone has the same health insurance coverage. If Congresscritters want to maintain a standard they are accustomed to, then it would have to apply to everyone else, equally. Since Congresscritters pass legislation, their coverage would perforce become the baseline for the rest.
Here’s a disquisition on “equal footing doctrine” in the Constitution.
