Government sponsored health care
Oregon has a government healthcare system. Clinton issued a waiver thought it was a great idea. "Progressives" love this and think we all shoudl have it. Well let's see what can happen:
Quote:
Some terminally ill patients in Oregon who turned to their state for health care were denied treatment and offered doctor-assisted suicide instead, a proposal some experts have called a "chilling" corruption of medical ethics
Lane Individual Practice Association (LIPA), which administers the Oregon Health Plan in Lane County, responded to Stroup's request with a letter saying the state would not cover Stroup's pricey treatment, but would pay for the cost of physician-assisted suicide.
Oregon doesn't cover life-prolonging treatment unless there is better than a 5 percent chance it will help the patients live for five more years — but it covers doctor-assisted suicide, defining it as a means of providing comfort, no different from hospice care or pain medication.

This is what we have to look forward to under nationalized health care...

We just have to try to evaluate them the best we can."
