Get real!

Even Congress and the President have REFUSED personally to embrace the “public plan” for themselves and their families.

It’s hard to predict what will be in the final health bill. There’s a lot going on behind locked doors. But Rham Emanuel’s brother, Ezekiel, has written extensively about the need to ration health care.

Ezekiel has a degree in oncology and has been actively involved in crafting Obama’s health care policy. Ezekiel has repeatedly asserted that American’s spend too much health care dollars on the elderly and the young.

End stage renal disease patients on dialysis therapy have a 5 year mortality approaching 100%. Care will be rationed under any government scheme, like it or not. I doubt any policy authored by Ezekiel is gonna wanna throw more money at numbers like that, especially given our completely bankrupt system.

The wealthy will get their care overseas in private hospitals in countries like Israel. The rest of us with family members suffering from a complex disease state will probably resort to bribery to pay off the “health administrator” who will determine whether our family member will receive the necessary subspecialty care.

However, I don’t believe it is fair to say that all hospital acquired infections translate into “malpractice.”

I’m no infectious disease specialist, but a majority of really sick people end up in the hospital. It goes to reason that multi-drug resistant bacteria would therefore be more prevalent in the hospital setting.

Give me a break. You should be asking how many policy holders in good standing that will be denied coverage to use neonatal and dialysis units. What makes you believe that the government will close these units down? Provide your reasoning.

Please back up your “claim” with a reference.
