3. The only person whose business it is to make this decision

is the patient


Reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend and his grandmother recently... we were asking her what has changed the most about this country in her time. She said the biggest thing that has changed is that people today relentlessly stick their noses in each others' business.

Well Obama will make that decision and he is sticking his nose in everyone's business.
You goons have stuck your fingers in your ears and screeched "la la la" every time us teabirthers have told you what is going to happen. This bill hasn't even been passed yet and we have clear evidence of what we are saying is true. The govt will be trying to save money so they will up the age of mamagrams to 50. And I can imagine a lot of women will die before they hit 50 because they were not authorized a mamagram. ALso the cancer may not get detected as early and more costly and dangerous procedures will be required.
But, there are no death panels.

10. If the insurance company or government is paying for it, it is their business
 Since it involves their money.

(actually, if it is the government, it is everybody's business)

12. Where do they get their money? 
 From the very people whose medical decisions they are usurping. They are nothing but parasites sucking money and efficiency out of the system.

 

Am I reading that right? Did notesdev just call the government as bunch of money-sucking parasites?

I'm pretty sure he was referrin to the Insurance Companies.

7. Let's have some freedom of choice
 If a woman wants early screening, let her choose a health maintenance program that covers it. She will have to make her own decision as to whether the cost is worth it, and to make it an honest decision she should pay the cost difference if she chooses more service over less. (If people don't have to pay for something they will always consume as much as they can, until that resource runs out.) No one is more qualified to make the choice for a person as to what is important to them, as much as the individual herself.

With regards to the word "insurance", that is a misnomer when it comes to preventative care. Insurance by definition insures against a risk, not a definite event. Medical coverage in case of an accident is insurance. Medical coverage for a routine dentist visit is not, that is maintenance.
 

The DUmmie mantra let out by accident right there.
