IT HAS BEGUN: NYTIMES TELLING ITS READERS THAT LESS HEALTHCARE IS BETTER HEALTHCARE

UPDATED: SCROLL DOWN...

THEY DON'T QUITE ENDORSE DEATH PANELS - YET, BUT BY ALL INDICATIONS THAT'S COMING NEXT YEAR IF THEY CAN HOLD ON TO THE CONGRESS:

Deep down, Americans tend to believe that more care is better care. We recoil from efforts to restrict care.

Managed care became loathed in the 1990s. The recent recommendation to reduce breast cancer screening set off a firestorm. On a personal level, anyone who has made a decision about his or her own care knows the nagging worry that comes from not choosing the most aggressive treatment.

This try-anything-and-everything instinct is ingrained in our culture, and it has some big benefits. But it also has big downsides, including the side effects and risks that come with unnecessary treatment. Consider that a recent study found that 15,000 people were projected to die eventually from the radiation they received from CT scans given in just a single year — and that there was “significant overuse” of such scans.

From an economic perspective, health reform will fail if we can’t sometimes push back against the try-anything instinct. The new agencies will be hounded by accusations of rationing, and Medicare’s long-term budget deficit will grow.

So figuring out how we can say no may be the single toughest and most important task facing the people who will be in charge of carrying out reform.

REPEAT:

So figuring out how we can say no may be the single toughest and most important task facing the people who will be in charge of carrying out reform.

"NO" IS ANOTHER WAY TO SAY "YOU DIE."

SO SARAH PALIN WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL.

OBAMACARE WASN'T JUST ABOUT WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION; IT WAS ABOUT A TYPE OF EUTHANASIA WHERE IT'S THE GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS WHO DECIDE WHICH PATIENT LIVES AND WHICH PATIENT DIES.

I SAY, WE'RE BETTER OFF IF WE "EUTHANIZE" OBAMACARE!

NOTE: The impetus to "reform" our health care industry and health care insurance markets is based on TWO HUGE FREAKIN' LIES:

1) That we spend more than Europe on health care and get a worse result.

IN FACT, AMERICANS LIVE LONGER THAN EUROPEANS.

And (2) That Europeans get better results disease by disease - also FALSE:

In fact, Morbidity Rates by major disease are ALL BETTER HERE.
(More here.)

WHY HAS THE LEFT LIED ABOUT OUR HEALTH CARE?

TO GAIN CONTROL. TO MAKE AS MANY PEOPLE DEPENDENT ON GOVERNMENT AND POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS AS POSSIBLE.

That's what makes them powerful - and able to dole out favors for friends.

There's only one way to stop them:

VOTE THEM OUT THIS NOVEMBER!
