When I had a heart problem 24 years ago I had heart bypass surgery the very
next day. When one of my friends had and attack while hunting in Canada he
was told he would be placed on a monitor and would be scheduled in five to
seven weeks for surgery. He paid to be flown to the US and had bypass
surgery the day he arrived. Which care would you prefer?

It wasnt "made up" by anyone, but it was very badly interpreted by
a lot of people. There was a call of end of life counseling. Taken to
extremes, it was called a "death panel".

Is there any precedent? Yes. The medical industry can, (has and will
probably go further), a concept called "denial of services". If you dont
have the insurance coverage, and if you dont have the cash in hand, you
may be denied services which would have kept you alive. In contra to
some of the heroics of the past, this will be "pay as you go, or go earlier"

Actually if you do a search you will discover that the Chinese GDP is less
than half that of the US and well below Japan by 25%.

Actually the Republican party stuck to its principles of smaller government
and more personal liberties as set down by the founders of our REPUBLIC of
individual sovereign states

Are you saying that the republican party has been wrong to take a
purely partisan stand against everything Obama attempts to do? I
think they are wrong and it sounds like you agree with me.
