Do you think I agree with the Republicans?!
BTW, have you read Paul on the matter? You know ... a politician that is actually a MD? Why we've gone from home visits to the paperload we have? Why we've never had free market medicine! Why 'pre-existing conditions' are a government created issue? Etc...?
All I know is that I'm willing to take 'socialized medicine' -- even as a Libertarian, because it will reduce costs for basic healthcare -- if and only if it's 2-payer, meaning I have the option -- like with Medicare -- to get a 'buy up/supplementary' plan from private industry.
The UK does not have that and, one worse, will prevent people from even paying 100% of their own money (no insurance).
All (or all-1) the doctors? Seriously ... this is the non-sense at its finest! It was more than just 1 doctor!!!
How do new, unproven procedures get tested? Why doesn't the UK have them? Why does the UK government 'protect' the NHS with such non-sense defenses? The UK government was very, very much involved here! Do not play with semantics!
I think this case showcases exactly why the US leads in R&D.
Do you understand how and why the anti-vaccine movement continues?!
Because the FDA and CDC do not agree on what vaccines are important and worth the risk! Many innocuations have risks! Seriously ... in that one statement, you just proved why attitudes like yours are part of the problem! Read-up on why the anti-anti-vaccine movement gets things wrong!
I'm not saying I agree with the anti-vaccine movement, far from it. I'm saying the anti-anti-vaccine movement -- mouthing off that 'all vaccines are safe' (totally ignorant of risk factors and the need for testing in some cases, as well as newer vaccines) -- is part of the problem.
You do know that one HPV innoculation was yanked from the market by the FDA ... while the CDC was still promoting it ... yes? I.e., people that pushed and pushed for HPV at-all-costs, 'all of them are safe,' got 'caught with their pants down' on that one.
That's what kills me about 'Progressives.' Because sometimes, in their anti-conservative, rabid attitudes, they literally get things wrong, and give the conservatives 'ammunition.' The case of one HPV innoculation very much is a perfect example!
And people calling me an anti-vaxer because I refuse to get the Chicken Pox innoculation are yet more ignorant fools. HINT: I can never get the Shingles if I've never had the Chicken Pox, but that doesn't stop people from saying I can get Shingles.
Wide-spread ignorance is the problem, and it's on both the left and right.
