Will the Democratic Party Use Healthcare as the New Entitlement; You Know, Like Welfare for Not Working Was?
Question by Fast Eddie B: Will the Democratic Party use healthcare as the new entitlement; you know, like welfare for not working was?
It seems like expanding SCHIPS to the middle class, HillaryCare II as well as the programs expounded by Edwards & Obama, the running tirades against The Evil Drug Companies, & all the rest of it are just another way of saying that all Americans are ENTITLED to the best healthcare that our system can provide.
If that makes sense to you, I’d just point out that the US is currently 100,000 nurses short & that number is going to grow dramatically as a disproportionate number of nurses are Baby Boomers & will be retiring just as the Baby Boomers need a whole lot MORE nurses. The point being that there isn’t going to be enough healthcare to go around in the first place so the idea that all Americans are entitled to equal care is a nice one – but, nevertheless, an idea that has no chance of becoming a reality.
Case in point: a young woman became eligible for free healthcare after Romney’s plan went into effect in Massachusetts, the state sent her a list of primary care doctors, she…
…called around to the doctor’s offices to make and appointment for her first physical examination in 9 years, and every office told her that they were not accepting new patients as they were maxed out.
Reality Check 101: There isn’t enough healthcare to go around! Doctors, nurses, medical facilities, schools of medicine, nursing schools, etc. are all INSUFFICIENT to meet the needs of an entitled and expanding population.
Summary: Politicians can continue, as they have for eons now, to promise all the great and good things that they’re going to “give” you but reality will always dictate what you will (or will not) receive. Remember that the next time you’re inclined to think that a politician’s promise might reflect reality or indeed have no cost as promised.

CTV: Health Canada debating future of medical marijuana – From CTV News: Health Canada held a hearing in Montreal on Wednesday to hear from groups concerned about the future of medical marijuana in Canada. Legal use of the drug has been in a grey zone for almost a decade, since the Supreme Court of Canada ruled marijuana use for medical reasons was permissible. However acquiring marijuana has been a problem for thousands of would-be users. Many doctors have refused to provide prescriptions for marijuana, so compassion clubs and dispensaries were handing it out to anyone who showed up with what was considered to be a valid medical reason. Those compassion clubs were recently shut down by Montreal police following complaints that they had essentially turned into centres for drug trafficking. montreal.ctv.ca cannabisculture.com http freemarc.ca
