Do we think this forum can handle an adult conversation on where the line is for when to spend money trying to fix someone and when to "let nature take its course?" Or will Death Panels be brought up immediatly?
I could be talked into some form of single payer or something like that but I take a pretty hard line approach as to what should be fixed and when someone should just be made comfortable. I was going to start a thread a while back but was advised against it.
On a different note, one thing I will give the military is the lack of wasting time. My wife went in for a lump by her boobs. She expected her appointment to just be for a consult. Then possibly a few follow ups, maybe a biopsy, then possibly surgery down the road. She went into her first appointment, the docter poked her a few times, laid her down and cut it out. It was sent out for tests and came back fine but she couldnt believe they did surgery without a million pre-appointments. I wonder how much money we waste on consults.
