I had a malignant melanoma removed a year ago. I was able to see a dermatologist within a few days of detecting an abnormal mole. The doctor saw me on a Wednesday; I had the melanoma surgically removed the very next afternoon.

Moreover, many folks delay seeing a physician for such things. They do so out of fear, lethargy, ignorance and a host of other factors. But I doubt if long lines contribute to delays.

Best of all, I had a second round of surgery at a nearby medical school. I saw the department chair in surgical oncology. I had no health insurance at the time. I was able to score a 25% discount on the cost of the second round of surgery. I then paid half of the remaining amount upfront and the remainder was spread out over 2 years.

If, in fact, we went to such a system, we would more likely resemble Darfur
in our dining habits.

However, statist politicians will never concede any of this since their entire “raison d’etre” is to SECURE CONTROL over us. — Note the contradiction with Jefferson’s purpose of government being to SECURE OUR RIGHTS.

Does wit get much better?

How about this mean spirited swipe:

Keynesianism : Economic AIDS

That asteroid over Indonesia was only 30 feet in diameter and exploded with the force of 50 thousand TONS of TNT, three times the weapon that destroyed Hiroshima. I suggest both parties repent. There are plenty more where that came from.
