5. Yeah, the one who denied me specialist care last year
The one who didn't refer to my medical record in making that decision.
Sent me to three other doctors who said "Why are you here? Why didn't you go to the specialist?"

A year later I go the specialist and he tells me I have a rare complications and should go see the head of surgery at the Mayo clinic.
What, do I have to fight another year for that?

6. Exactly -- the bogeyman government "bureaucrat" is, in current reality, a private-company stooge...
Who will make sure your benefits are delayed or denied. :grr:

7. Hasn't John McCain ENJOYED government health care his entire life?
Including as a child, since his father was in the military.

So nice to know what is good enough for him, is not good enough for average Americans.
