60 Hospitals Cancelled Due To New Health Law!

[Lounge Daddy]

Just last week the NY Times was reporting that, yes, there will be rationing of health-care, thanks to the Federal Government. In fact,[url="http://www.withoutadjectives.com/?p=1750"]the NY Times says that this is a good thing.[/url](Huh?!) So let the medical rationing begin!

Tonight, [url="http://www.withoutadjectives.com/?p=1787"]it is being reported that 60 hospitals have been cancelled due to the Federal State taking greater control over the health market.[/url] We’re living the Socialist dream, comrades. More to come, you can be sure.

Wait, what does it mean by "canceled"? Like plans for 60 hospitals to be built are being canceled, or 60 hospitals are being closed?

There were at least 60 more set to be built. They had to be canceled.

It means 60 hospitals that were in the planning stages won't go any further at this point. Here is a direct quote from the article:

"More than 60 doctor-owned hospitals across the country that were in the development stage will be canceled, said Molly Sandvig, executive director of Physician Hospitals of America (PHA)."

Once again we see people who are supposed to be honest deliberately misleading people.

@Mlkolbe: No, that is not how it was done in Canada. Hospitals have been built and expanded in Canada. Health care is very good in Canada. Canada's infant mortality rate is lower than the U.S. Canada's life expectancy is longer than the U.S. Canada's per capita spending on health care is lower than the U.S.

Our infant mortality rate is probably higher due to culture, not access to health care. I've asked the question many times of pregnant mothers, after finding out they had a doctor when they last saw them or of they called. Answer: "No". Seen too many pregnant mothers with doctors who continue to drink and smoke, don't take care of themselves and don't make regular appointments. All have access to doctors--they choose another route.

It's culture.
