HOW MUCH IS A HUMAN BEING WORTH?
"I, too, trust “the insurance man” more."
Well then, why not have private insurance?

"I want those decisions to be a cooperative effort between ME and my own personal DOCTOR."
I don't understand. What is stopping you having private heath insurance?

"There are monetary considerations (rationing) already used by insurance companies to determine some care options. But I’d rather have some green eyeshade guy working in the private sector worried about me or my family suing the crap out of his company making that choice rather than a “bureaucrat with a slide rule.”"
(a) You can sue the government. People do it all the time.
(b) The insurance company man is only concerned with increasing profit for the company, government also has, at least in concept, the well being of citizens as a factor to consider.
(c) Who uses slide rules?

NO, AMERICA -- YOU CAN'T KEEP THE HEALTH INSURANCE YOU HAVE NOW
"London Daily Mail" Ha, the Mail!
"Yep, and the rubbish keeps piling higher and higher."
Yes, euthenasia and a lack of dialysis machines. Of course, they are the *exact* same thing.
And, note, we are 3 years on and it is still illegal to travel abroad to commit suicide.
I mean, honestly;
"Some hospitals are running schemes to help patients indicate that they wish to be allowed to die - a system condemned by opponents as ‘tick the box to die’….”"
Name me one, just one, major country which does not have some sort of DNR register in hospitals.
ou quite obviously have no idea what you are talking about, and bringing in the Daily Mail isn't going to make it look like you do.

Ha, more anti-NHS nonsense.
"The 12 UK kidney treatment centers mentioned above who were turning away patients developed a unique technique to fix the problem. All dialysis patients over the age of 50 were sent a letter that had the following statement regarding the lack of treatment available: “We recommend you put your affairs in order.”
Not surprisingly the demand for dialysis soon “died”"
Rubbish, complete and utter rubbish, urban legending lies.
Also, and I never understand why people can't work this out, you are not prevented from having private health insurance in the UK, unless insurance companies don't want to insure you.You want private treatment and you need kidney dialysis, go for it. Otherwise you are in a system that rations healthcare.

WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT 'APRIL'S MOM?'
Oh, and feminists who were pro-any-choice;

http://www.feministing.com/archives/010762.html
The predominant theme in feminist blogs seems to be "What you choose is up to you, but what I choose should be up to me".

That's a libertarian Randian, as you should be able to tell, not a liberal.
"http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/08/left-hits-new-l.html"
And that's a lunatic quoting an anonymous commentator.
So, where are those mainstraem (or even extreme) leftists who were saying that Palin did something wrong by not having an abortion?

IS 'BARACK THE MAGIC NEGRO' RACIST?
"The reason is simple; the left has appropriated the word “racist” in order to define the debate on race – any issue, any time, anywhere – on their terms and their terms alone. Do you oppose Affirmative Action? You’re a racist. Do you oppose set asides for business based on race? You are a racist. Do you oppose racial quotas in college entrance requirements? You are a racist."
Well, maybe, but in this case "Do you use a blatantly racist fictional archetype to refer to a black man?" seems to be a fair point.
You do know what the "Magic Negro" is don't you? Hint : It doesn't mean "Black man who can do magic"
Google it for your own edification if you like.

NO CLIMATE CHANGE TREATY WITHOUT CHINA
"I think it’s the height of arrogance for us to believe that WE have any kind of power, individually or collectively, to affect the climate of this planet."
Quite right. After all, the very idea that humans could, say, irradiate most of the planet in a matter of hours with untold effect on weather systems is just liberal nonsense.
