More reasons to not cover medical procedures?
« on: August 06, 2012, 02:07:17 PM »
Let's see, we've had studies showing that early mammograms and prostate screenings may be unnecessary.  It naturally follows that those things eventually won't be covered under government programs. 

Now there are a couple of more studies coming out.

Baseline EKGs not needed.

Chemotherapy may make cancer worse.

More ways to save the taxpayer money under ObamaCare's death panels.

You know that in those 2,700 pages somewhere it says you really don't need to breathe......So, DUmmies, stop breathing.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Guy goes to the doctor
Says "Doc, my arm hurts when I move it like this"
Doc says "Don't move it like that"
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

True story (a no shitter), Good friend of mine had to go in to have a couple of artificial heart valves replaced after 13 years.  He told the Doc that his prevoius surgeon had said the original valves would last for life.  Doc replied "Well he probably didn't expect you to live this long".

^Good story. Even though it's true. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Can't wait for the DUmmies to start blaming the right for "lack of funding" when Obamacare shuts down healthcare to people that smoke, test positive for drugs, or are overweight.   ::)
