The Inevitability And Irreversibility Of Government-Sponsored Health Care
2017-05-07
[Mercer] Unz Review columnist Dr. Boyd D. Cathey muses about another government power-grab called Trump Care. Naturally, he hopes it’ll be slightly better than the one to precede it. Dr. Cathey hearkens back to a different, inegalitarian time when the principle of noblesse oblige drove the faithful and the wealthy to take care of the needy. With the triumph of 19th century liberalism and the fanaticism of progress, the quest to level society saw the Church robbed of its lands and traditional role. Conditions soon arose that predisposed the downtrodden to Socialism, Communism and the modern welfare state.

#10  Veterans Administration. Oh, and you can't fire those who mismanage what they do have. They just get 'reassigned' to another hospital to work their 'magic'.

#9  Buyer also gets to set the quality, scheduling, and amount of care Glenmore. Ask anyone on the National Health Service in England.

This is the same buyer who, even now, lavishes healthcare and benefits on illegal aliens who's very presence is a federal offense, over veterans.

#7  It's hard to take something away from some people, particularly after you have convinced people that you have given them something.

#6  Single payer means single buyer. Single buyer means buyer sets prices paid to providers. Providers can accept or quit. This is not motivational to increasing or maintaining the number or quality of providers.

#5  So which disability are you talking about? Instamoron or Krautdrooler?

#4  Amazing how the left and the "progressives" believe it is okay to name call and make fun of those with disabilities and then make the middle class pay for millions of dollars of upgrades to promote accessibility.

If I make fun of a person with an affliction or slur someone's name I would be fired from my job. But its okay for the left to do that which they accuse us on the right.

I personally think those kinds of comments are repugnant

#3  I dare a few posters here to try to go a week without looking to see what Krautdrooler or InstaMoron tell them to think. I dare ya.

Strangely, having gotten older, I've become more tolerant of...'droolers.'
