Health Care Rationing: The Strawman of the Right

Over 2 trillion dollars per year is spent on health care in this country. Divide it out, go on.
Easily 20% of that goes towards waste. Ahem. "Overhead."

Why, again, do we need to ration health care? It's fairly simple to afford the money to put people on maintenance meds, so they don't make you sick.

Is it possible that some people (lubbock, tx, If i remember the article right) are robbing insurance companies blind? Sure. and I call that prosecutable.

But most of the cost of health care is the revolving emergency room door. And it fixes nothing. First they take a toe, and then a foot, and then your leg -- little fixes that would be much cheaper to fix with a medication to control your blood sugar.
