There's pr...Rationing as political decision...<br /><br />There's precedent.<br /><br />In National Socialism, ie. as per Germany, 1930s-1940s. Think Mengele.<br /><br />In Canada, under Medicare today.<br /><br />In America, under Obamacare.<br /><br />Nothing stopping discrimination in the rationing of healthcare... who can prove it? Would StatsCan, an organization now reasonably suspected of being national-socialist, if they knew that some groups are saved, and others are left to die, would they tell us?<br /><br />Thinking about it, we know that rationing is dangerous, as a tool of ideologically-extreme and amoral regimes. It could lead to soft genocide, for example.Canadian Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255833874079591126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-91664722418772336052010-08-12T22:07:04.751-03:002010-08-12T22:07:04.751-03:00Robert's Theory of HealthCare:
---------------...Robert's Theory of HealthCare:<br />--------------------------------<br /><br />We can spend all our money, every last GDP cent, on health care ... and we will still get sick and die, at present.<br /><br />Therefore health care has to be rationed. It can be rationed by only two mechanisms: price or queue theory.<br /><br />The former is preferable as the latter requires a central organisation, and then medical treatments become a political decision, rather than a medical and economic one.Robert of Ottawanoreply@blogger.com
