OT government

Instead they go on deceiving themselves that "everyone gets health
care if they need it" whilst secretly thinking "and those damn poor
folks that can't afford it don't deserve what I get".

And the real ****s of it is that "those poor people" then turn around
and get *the most expensive* care in the system, paid for by whom?
Yeah, those same tax-hating people. And their "free" health care
isn't free anyway - they pay for it as part of the cost of goods and
services. There ain't no free lunch.

What's mind-boggling is that they think that if government took it
over, there's be some sort of bureaucracy over an above what we have
now with the insurance companies. Almost like they'd never dealt with
an insurance company. Some years back I had a filling. I requested
of the dentist to make it an amalgam one, which I prefer because of
their durability. The filling actually cost less than the resin kind,
but the reimbursement from insurance was a nightmare because they see
very few of those types of fillings these days. Of course, I had to
spend two non-productive work days trying to track down the ~ten
people I needed to talk to to get $112 covered by insurance. In
retrospect, I should have just paid out of pocket. Remember, NO gov.
agency was involved. And this in not some atypical case, nor some
special experimental procedure.
