Routine health care is predictable BY DEFINITION, Zippy. Everyone’s going to need a periodic physical, flu shots, childhood vaccinations, blood tests, etc. Statistically, everyone is going to need treatment for common basic illnesses, ear infections, broken limbs, lacerations, sprains, accidents and the like.
Since everyone, even the government, likes to be able to accurately forecast cash flows, one wonders what David S and other ObamaCare supporters would say when the day draws near (and it will), when a few genetic tests drawn from fetal fluids will be able to accurately forecast a child’s likely health care costs and, therefore, a measure of the “cost” of letting them be born. I’m sure that other countries, the ones he loves to cite, in fact, will start utilizing these technologies in fairly short order, since they need to precisely because their health care costs are going to bankrupt them even faster than ours will bankrupt us.
Hey David S, in the name of “predictable medical costs” are you willing for the government to have the power to deny someone the right to have a child that will “cost too much” according to the genetic tests?
I love the movie “GATTACA” (mmmmm, Uma), but are we really prepared to actually live it?
