I work in an Emergency Room. Believe me, no one is turned away! I have sent illegal immigrants to the local trauma center via Air Care flights, and that is NOT cheap. We do not check age, citizenship, or political affiliation when deciding what kind of care is appropriate. And I have referred indigent people to specialists and lo and behold, they have gotten care.<br /><br /> Obviously, the care is not free. You and I and anyone with insurance pays for it, indirectly. However, I would rather have things this way than not be able to get care for myself or my family when we need it. I am more frightened of this legislation as an end user of health care than as a provider that is forced to become a unionized worker of the government. In fact, I believe I may not stay in the profession if the government makes decisions for me instead of allowing me to do what I believe is right. I believe that I may have to "Go Galt".<br /><br />The euphemism of Universal Healthcare is just a means of taking away more of our liberties. <br /> IMHO, government and trial lawyers are a large part of the current costs of health care, by driving up costs through regulations and malpractice concerns. <br /><br />C MillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332274376330278254.post-26991783537479899772009-08-07T15:03:00.873-04:002009-08-07T15:03:00.873-04:00I agree with you, Puma4Life.

It is about complete control of the American people, from our bank accounts to our time of death. No way; I would rather not have anything.Puma for Lifehttp://helpmejoseph.typepad.com/puma_for_life/noreply@blogger.com
