i was listening for a minute to some faux news programming earlier---it was coming from behind my head as i was waiting in a checkout line so i wasn't paying attention. when i noticed that there was a steady blah blah blah happening, the rhetoric was all "rationing of care" and other stuff similar to the inverted logic in the op. when i looked on the way out of the store, it was some glenn beck show. i think someone else pointed this out earlier in the thread, and that may be why i was attending to it, but fox news does in fact have a very specific rhetoric for not quite talking about reality while pretending to do it. and it is the case you it is a recognizable rhetoric. paying attention to it for even a few minutes i started to feel like i was being hung upside down and all the blood was rushing to my head. most strange.
in the french system, for example, there is a mix of access to basic health care and manditory private insurance for more advanced care and based on that it is simply, empirically false that anything like the outcome pan describes is likely to happen here.
