[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2968819, member: 24302"] It's a known fact in countries with socialized medicine that other people decide how much if any is to be spent on your care relative to your situation. And that delays in receiving treatment often are tantamount to a death sentence. We see that with the V.A. here. Governor Palin wasn't for "death squads", was warning against "death panels" that decide your fate. Socialized medicine usually leads to shortages in doctors, and hard choices are made about getting treatment. Why would I be in favor of such things? Live where you can be treated by doctors for a reasonable amount. Doctors who often were trained in the U.S. or Europe. And don't go through life thinking the gov't needs to insure I'll live to 90 and be spry as a 30 yr old doing it. Death is part of everyone's existence, and there are no guarantees we'll die easy.
